Why the future of AI isn’t one chip to rule them all
The 60-Second Primer
Three chips are fighting for AI’s soul. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) — the Swiss Army knife that trains most AI models today. TPUs (Tensor Processing Units) — Google’s secret weapon, hoarded for its own data centers. And LPUs (Language Processing Units) — the new kid optimized purely for inference speed. Understanding which chip wins where isn’t just hardware trivia — it’s the difference between a startup burning cash on the wrong infrastructure and an enterprise shipping AI that actually responds in real-time.
