Google introduced the Tensor series of chips with the Pixel 6 series in 2021. It was meant to usher in a range of chips specially tailored by Google to keep up with its class-leading AI-based software features. Just three Tensor chips in, and many of Google’s new AI features need to be off-loaded to the cloud for processing.

    I think it’s realistic to assume that Google is going to impose quotas on those “free” AI features that are running on the cloud right now and have people pay for more quota. It makes no economic sense for Google to keep offering those compute services for free. Remember Google Colab? Started completely free with V100 and A100 GPUs, now you have to pay to just keep using a simple T4 GPU without interruption.
