The talks also involve Meta renting chips from Google Cloud as early as next year and are part of Google's broader push to get customers to adopt its tensor processing units (TPUs) - used for AI workloads - in their own data centers, the report said, citing people involved in the talks. The move would mark a departure from Google's current strategy of using TPUs only in its own data centers and could sharply expand the market for its chips, putting the company in direct competition for the hundreds of billions being spent on data-center processors to power AI services.
