Google places a 3 million chip order with Intel

Google has placed an order with Intel for the production of over 3 million artificial intelligence chips in 2028. This decision comes as TSMC faces increasing pressure due to rising demand for its production capacity. Google intends to utilize the Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) manufactured by Intel following months of testing the company's manufacturing capabilities. Google's TPUs are specifically designed for AI, optimized for training and inference of advanced AI models. Sources indicate that this deal reflects the mounting pressures on TSMC, prompting clients to seek alternatives.

Production AI Playbook: Complex Agent Patterns

Proven strategies for building reliable AI systems emphasize the importance of architectural design. Many teams face the "complexity slope" issue when transitioning from single-agent systems to multi-agent systems, complicating error tracking. Multi-agent systems necessitate an organized approach, requiring design discipline akin to that used in production software development. This includes defining boundaries between components, establishing clear interfaces, and isolating failure domains, which facilitates independent testing of each part.

Autonomous AI Data Loss in DevOps: Building Efficient Defenses

The speed of software development has significantly changed due to intelligent agents, but this brings new risks. In 2025, DevOps platforms experienced 68 AI-related security incidents, highlighting the urgent need to update security strategies. Organizations must recognize that access control alone is insufficient; they must also focus on rapid recovery from destructive commands executed by authorized agents. AI-related security incidents are increasing, with reports indicating a notable acceleration in the second half of the year. When trusted, intelligent agents can cause severe damage without security teams noticing in time.
