<p dir="ltr">Google’s Gemini supercomputing ecosystem represents a quantum leap in AI infrastructure. By co-designing custom silicon (TPUs), optical networking (OCS), distributed software (Pathways, JAX), and energy-efficient data centers, Google achieves unmatched scalability (>95% efficiency at exascale) and computational density. TPU v5p pods deliver 4.6 exaFLOPS of BF16 performance—optimized explicitly for Gemini’s multimodal workloads—while setting new benchmarks in FLOPs/watt. However, this vertical integration creates high barriers to entry, raising concerns about market concentration and environmental impact. As Gemini evolves toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), Google’s supercomputing moat will play a decisive role in the global AI race. </p>
