# Google releases two new variants of its AI chips

Google is launching two new variants of its self-developed TPU chips, which are used to train and run AI models, according to reports. The new models, TPU 8tx and TPU 8i Max, are tailored for different applications. TPU 8tx focuses on secure handling of sensitive information and targets governments and companies in regulated industries.

TPU 8i Max is optimized for processing large amounts of information simultaneously, which may be useful in areas such as drug research, advanced mathematics, and programming. The two new chip variants are expected to be available in 2027. According to Google, all currently deliverable TPU chips are already contracted by customers.
