In this episode, we dive deep into AI infrastructure at Google Cloud—what it means, why it matters, and how it’s evolving.
Our guest shares insights from over 8 years at Google and previous experience as a hardware engineer at IBM, bringing a unique perspective on the nuts and bolts that power today’s AI revolution. We explore:
✅ The foundations of AI infrastructure—chips, networking, storage, and workload-optimized systems
✅ How Google’s custom hardware (TPUs, Axion, ARM processors) differentiates it from AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM
✅ The concept of the AI Hypercomputer—a reference architecture combining hardware, software, and flexible consumption models
✅ Key announcements from Google, including NVIDIA Blackwell, GB200, Ironwood TPUs, and Cluster Director
✅ Why inference (not just training) is now the hot topic—and how Google helps customers lower the cost per inference
From hardware assembly roots to leading AI infrastructure strategy, this conversation highlights how Google builds and scales the systems behind Gemini, Vertex AI, and beyond.
📌 If you’re curious about the future of AI infrastructure, supercomputing, and how enterprises can actually run large-scale AI workloads efficiently—this one’s for you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
