Google pushes Gemini 3 ahead of GPT‑5 using its own TPU chips, forcing OpenAI into internal code‑red mode

Google just triggered a hard reset in the AI hardware war, after its TPU chips pushed Gemini 3 past GPT‑5 in independent tests, smashing both OpenAI and Nvidia right across the face at the same time. Gemini 3 ran mostly on Google’s tensor processing units, not Nvidia GPUs. After the results landed, Sam Altman told staff to redirect focus back to fixing ChatGPT and its core models. The move followed what OpenAI called a “code red” moment last week. At the same time, analysts said Google is planning to more than double TPU production by 2028, as demand for in‑house AI chips keeps rising. Google scales chips and pushes into outside sales Google now plans to move beyond using TPUs only inside its own cloud. One recent deal alone sent 1 million TPUs to Anthropic, a move valued in the tens of billions of dollars. That single contract shook Nvidia...
