Model claims are labelled by how we know them: Gemini — disclosed, Ironwood — disclosed, Ironwood (TPU v7) — inferred, Ironwood TPU — inferred, Ironwood TPU (7th Generation) — inferred, TPU v7 — disclosed, TPU7x — inferred, TPU7x (Ironwood) — disclosed and XLA compiler — disclosed. "Disclosed" means the vendor says so in public; "inferred" means it was derived from documentation, headers or release notes.
Other stack signals: JAX, PyTorch, vLLM, OpenXLA, MaxText, Tunix and GKE.
