Google is developing Frozen v2, a specialised chip with integrated Gemini architecture designed to process AI inference 6-10x more efficiently per unit of energy than current TPUs, targeting deployment by 2028. The chip will complement rather than replace TPUs and help address Google Cloud's compute capacity constraints.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure and Semiconductors. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

Google just locked Gemini inference into silicon - which means anyone building on Gemini now depends on Google's hardware roadmap, and anyone selling inference optimisation to Google Cloud customers has two years before that margin vanishes. If you're in AI ops or edge inference, Google's moving the cost structure and you need to move faster.
