Google攜手Meta搶攻Nvidia AI晶片霸權




Google聯手Meta的PyTorch,力圖削弱Nvidia在AI晶片市場的壟斷優勢

據路透社報道,Alphabet旗下的Google正加大力度,令自家開發的人工智能硬件與業界主流軟件兼容,以挑戰Nvidia在AI計算市場的主導地位。

這項名為「TorchTPU」的內部計劃,目標是優化Google的張量處理單元(TPU),讓它能更好地運行由Meta Platforms開發的開源框架PyTorch。PyTorch已成為全球AI開發的標準,而其與Nvidia硬件的無縫整合,長期以來成為競爭對手晶片廠商進入市場的重大障礙。

過去,Google的TPU主要優化配合自家軟件框架Jax,雖然對Google內部工作負載十分高效,卻形成了外部企業客戶的「瓶頸」,因為這些客戶多數已建立在PyTorch生態系統上。路透引述知情人士透露,TorchTPU計劃標誌著Google在組織策略上的轉變,將更多工程資源投入到確保TPU能夠對廣大PyTorch開發者友好,從而使Google晶片成為Nvidia GPU的有力替代方案。

此舉同時也是Google雲端業務向投資者證明其在AI硬件大規模資本投入能帶來可持續回報的一部分。

– **雲端收入推動**:TPU的採用是Google雲端服務與Microsoft Azure及Amazon Web Services競爭的重要引擎。
– **CUDA護城河**:華爾街分析師長期認為Nvidia的CUDA軟件是其主要競爭優勢。Google透過原生支持PyTorch,意圖削弱這一優勢。
– **開源策略**:為加速市場接受度,Google正考慮將部分新軟件橋接組件開源。

儘管Nvidia依然是AI處理器的主導供應商,但其晶片的高昂成本和供應限制促使多家大型科技公司尋找替代方案。作為Nvidia最大客戶之一的Meta,一直積極推動開源軟件如PyTorch,以確保硬件的靈活性。

Google通過打造軟件橋樑,讓開發者能更輕易地從Nvidia硬件轉移到自家晶片,意圖以更具競爭力的價格打破Nvidia的市場壟斷,推動AI數據中心市場的競爭環境。

消息公布後,Nvidia股價早盤下跌約3.1%,Alphabet亦下跌約3%。

評論與分析

Google此舉反映出AI硬件市場的競爭已進入白熱化階段。Nvidia憑藉其CUDA軟件與GPU硬件的深度整合,建立了強大的生態系統護城河,令競爭對手難以撼動其地位。然而,隨著AI應用需求爆炸性增長及市場規模擴大,單靠硬件性能已不足以維持壟斷,軟件生態的開放與兼容性成為關鍵。

Google與Meta合作推動PyTorch在TPU上的優化,正是針對這一點發力。此舉不單是技術層面的改進,更是策略上對Nvidia獨佔局面的挑戰。若成功,將打破以往由Nvidia主導的軟硬件綁定模式,促進AI硬件市場多元化,對整個行業生態有深遠影響。

此外,Google開源部分軟件組件的可能性,符合現代科技產業「開放即競爭」的趨勢,有助於吸引更多開發者和企業用戶採用TPU,進一步提升Google雲端的競爭力。

然而,這場競爭依然面臨不少挑戰,包括如何保持TPU的性能優勢、完善開發者工具和生態支持,以及如何在價格和供應鏈上與Nvidia抗衡。長遠來看,這或將促使整個AI硬件市場形成更健康的競爭格局,推動技術創新和成本下降,最終惠及用戶和產業發展。

對香港及全球科技市場觀察者而言,這場硬件與軟件生態的競逐值得持續關注,不僅影響投資動向,也可能改寫未來AI技術的發展路徑。

Use my uploaded female subject as the ONLY face reference — her face, bone structure, proportions, and identity must remain 100% accurate. She is sitting low and relaxed on a worn vintage couch inside a messy 90s-era bedroom, dripping with grunge attitude and self-confidence. The entire room tells a story of obsession — the walls are completely covered in posters, photos, magazine clippings, and polaroids of HER, all different versions of her: glam looks, grungy looks, party looks, soft looks, edgy looks, all chaotic and layered, taped and pinned unevenly like a shrine to herself. Wardrobe: She wears an oversized, slouchy dark hoodie left open, revealing a white tube top underneath. The outfit is provocative but raw — lots of exposed skin at the waist, collarbones, shoulders, and legs. The vibe is unapologetically sexy, rebellious, and confident. Bare legs or very short bottoms, worn sneakers or socks, very lived-in 90s styling.
Hair & makeup: Hair is messy, slightly undone, effortlessly sexy. Makeup is grungy-glam — smoky eyes, dark liner, slightly smudged, natural but seductive skin texture. No over-polish.
Pose & expression:
She sits back into the couch with dominant, careless confidence — legs apart or casually stretched, shoulders relaxed. Her expression is sultry, knowing, and powerful, like she’s fully aware the entire room revolves around her. She looks down toward the camera, owning the frame.
Camera & composition:
The camera is placed very low on the floor, angled sharply upward toward her, creating dramatic depth perception. Her legs and body feel larger in the foreground, her face looming above, while the poster-covered walls stretch upward behind her, creating a warped, immersive perspective. Slight wide-angle distortion for intensity. Lighting: Moody, low-light bedroom lighting — a mix of cool blue tones and dirty warm highlights. Neon or lamp glow spills across the posters. Shadows fall unevenly across the room, adding grit and texture. Film grain, subtle motion blur energy, raw 90s music-video atmosphere. Overall vibe: Sexy, grungy, chaotic, self-obsessed Create a photorealistic movie-poster image for Zootopia 2. The scene shows a young Asian man and an oversized black shirt standing inside a crowded, dimly lit cinema. He’s flanked by Judy Hopps in full police uniform and Nick Wilde, both rendered in their official Disney CGI style. Capture the shot from a low angle so the characters feel larger than life. The cinema screen behind them is glowing with an intense action scene from the film. Let the light from the screen spill across their faces and clothing to create dramatic high contrast. The environment should feel alive with background silhouettes, soft haze, and the warm ambience of a packed theatre. Style the composition like an official Disney promotional poster: epic layout, sharp detail, high resolution, balanced framing, and clean edges. The man and the cinema should be fully photorealistic, while Judy and Nick retain their signature animated look.

• The Disney logo
• The title ZOOTOPIA 2 in bold green and white
• The release line ONLY IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 26 Poster tone: cinematic, polished, high-end theatrical marketing.
