I think the problem is the conflicting goals that Google has with that chip. They want the chip to be able to run AI stuff locally with the Edge TPU ASIC that it includes, but at the same time Google also wants to make money by having Pixel devices offload AI tasks to the cloud. Google can’t reconcile these two goals.
There’s a solution: Charge the customer once for the hardware and then add a monthly fee to be able to use all of it. Sony and Microsoft have great success with that.
Google makes 3 things: Android (includes Play store), Google Mail, Google Search.
That’s it. Everything else from Google has its head already on the chopping block.
