Surprised there is no mention of Google's TPU [0], arguably the biggest advance yet in custom hardware to support AI.

- nojvek 10y agoIt's very proprietary and only accessible to Google right? I would say the newer nVidia GPU's optimized for DNN have probably brought huge leaps. And they keep on getting powerful every year with more cores. I think in our generation we'll see self driving cars and descent autonomous home / office robots. What I think doesn't get much interest is manufacturing with cells. Most life around us grows from a single cell, how do we program DNA and cells to create hardware that is decomposable/recyclable by just burying it
