Google used Cloud Next in April to bifurcate its accelerator roadmap — TPU 8t for training, TPU 8i for inference, with the inference chip claiming 80% better perf-per-dollar on chain-of-thought MoE serving. Pichai disclosed that 75% of new code at Google is AI-generated and engineer-approved (up from 50% last fall, ~30% a year ago).

The same week: a $40B investment in Anthropic, the launch of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform with native plug-ins from Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday, and confirmation that the next Apple Siri will be powered by Gemini. AI Weekly tracks every Google AI release, partnership, and infrastructure shift.
