What is a key advantage of using Google's custom-designed TPUs?

The correct answer is C. TPUs are specialized AI processors that excel at parallel processing for machine learning. TPUs (Tensor Processing Units) are Google's custom-designed AI accelerators that excel at the massive parallel matrix and tensor computations required by machine learning workloads, particularly neural network training and inference (C). They are not edge devices (A) - they run i

Explanation

TPUs (Tensor Processing Units) are Google's custom-designed AI accelerators that excel at the massive parallel matrix and tensor computations required by machine learning workloads, particularly neural network training and inference (C). They are not edge devices (A) - they run in Google's data centers and are available via Google Cloud. TPUs do not improve storage capacity or data retrieval speeds (B); that is the role of storage and database services. TPUs are not general-purpose VM processors (D); they are specialized hardware designed specifically for ML, not for general compute tasks like web servers or databases.
