Will Google sell TPUs that can be plugged into stock hardware, or custom hardware with lots of TPUs? Our customers want all their video processing to happen on site, and don't want their video or other data to touch the cloud, so they're not happy about renting cloud TPUs or GPUs. Also it would be nice to have smart cameras with built-in TPUs.
Why don't your customers trust Google Cloud?
It's not Google Cloud per se, it's any cloud. There are a million reasons not to trust (or spend money on) any cloud. They want all their video and data on premises and completely under their control.
Well, there's also an ever increasing list of reasons not to trust anything from Google. They're even pretty similar reasons.
