   Google tells employees they need to double their work every 6 months to keep   
   up with AI

   Description:   
   Google wants to double AI capacity every six months, but it wants to keep a   
   lid on cost and power consumption.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   Googles AI and Infrastructure VP, Amin Vahdat, has reportedly warned    
   employees that the company must double serving capacity every six months in   
   order to keep up with demand for AI tools .    
      
    CNBC reported the news hit staff in a company all-hands, during which Vahdat   
   revealed that Google would need to scale the next 1000x in 4-5 years.    
      
   Vahdat noted all of this was needed while maintaining the same cost and power   
   consumption, spelling out a challenging future of both colossal capacity   
   increases and equally mighty efficienty improvements.   
      
   Google needs to double AI progress every six months   
      
   Vahdat explained the 1000x scale, targeted for around the end of the decade,   
   would need to come at essentially the same cost and increasingly, the same   
   power, the same energy level.    
      
   Clearly, the roadmap consists of multiple elements. Google continues to work   
   on expanding its infrastructure, like AI and cloud data centers, but its also   
   rolling out more of its own hardware (like TPUs) to reduce reliance on   
   third-party companies. Nvidia has profited hugely from that, for instance.    
      
   Googles seventh-generation TPU, Ironwood, claims a 30x power efficiency boost   
   over 2018 models.    
      
   And on those third-party concerns, many Nvidia chips are being flagged as    
   sold out, per The Verge , which has slowed down some rollouts across the   
   industry, including Googles own AI features.    
      
   Separately, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has also warned 2026 would be intense    
   due to AI competition and compute demand. Google has publicly acknowledged AI   
   bubble concerns, but Pichai deems underinvesting in AI even riskier.
