Instead of being able to buy your own nvidia gpu and run any cuda or opencl on it, now you can run only tensor flow on a tpu only in Google cloud.
How fantastic.
- chewxy 8y agoAnd only using Tensorflow.
- sabalaba 8y agoChoice in the marketplace is still choice. And, Google might eventually decide to sell this to outside companies. Eventually the desire to build competitive advantages for Google Cloud might be surpassed by the desire to compete with NVIDIA. Commoditizing the complement is a powerful strategy.
- throwaway2048 8y agoYeah seems like a way more abusive position to me frankly, a Google monopoly would be way worse than a NVIDIA one.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoNot a Google monopoly but instead another choice. To push Nvidia and others.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoIt is about choice and driving down cost. Love google keeps pushing the envelope which is good for everyone
