What are you even talking about? Jeff had a hand in TPU, which is so successful that all other AI companies are trying to clone this project and spin up their own efforts to make custom AI chips.

By what measure are TPUs “successful”? Where is your data coming from?

Please specify what you mean by "had a hand in TPU" and where else he had his hand. Thank you
