A $40,000 Nvidia chip has become the world's most sought-after hardware::Companies and governments want to deploy generative AI—but first they need access to Nvidia's H100 chips

Google has been building its own TPU since 2016
The lastest version TPUv4 has been released in 2021 with the v5 supposedly already in use internally since this year
EDIT : TPUv5 availability just annonced
