When Specialized Wins: TPUs Challenge GPU Dominance as AI Inference Costs Soar

Most AI teams default to GPUs out of familiarity, but as inference costs climb, TPUs offer substantial efficiency gains. Google built TPUs specifically to solve the cost and power challenges of running neural networks at massive scale—a problem that's now affecting anyone deploying AI in production. Choosing between TPUs and GPUs based on workload characteristics could dramatically reduce your infrastructure expenses.
