Google plans new chip to run Gemini models more efficiently: Report

Google is developing a new server chip ​that would incorporate elements ​of its Gemini model directly into the ​hardware, in a bid to serve its AI models more efficiently to users, the Information reported on Monday, citing people familiar ‌with the ⁠matter.

The ⁠Alphabet-owned company expects the new chip, informally dubbed “Frozen v2,” to ​help address an AI computing capacity crunch that has fueled internal ​tensions and prompted Google Cloud to decline deals with outside customers, the report said.

Shares of Alphabet were up ​3% in early trading.
