Part 7/9:
Bill Korn raised concerns about the developer experience when using TPU technology compared to more widely adopted frameworks like CUDA. Dean acknowledged the challenges and confirmed that Google's team is actively refining the development process to make it more accessible and effective for users.
The New Computing Paradigm
Dean highlighted a significant shift in the types of computations required today, stressing that the demand is no longer just for larger models but for intelligently designed computing systems that can efficiently support both training and inference tasks. This calls for a new paradigm in which computing infrastructure is tailored to meet the specific needs of AI workloads.
