Google Unveils Ironwood TPU at Cloud Next 2025

Google launched Ironwood, its seventh-generation TPU, at Cloud Next 2025, optimized for AI inference with unmatched performance and efficiency for advanced “thinking models” like LLMs and MoEs.

The Details:

  • Ironwood scales to 9,216 chips per pod, delivering 42.5 exaflops, with each chip offering 4,614 teraflops and 192 GB HBM at 7.2 TB/s bandwidth.

  • Enhanced SparseCore accelerates sparse data tasks, ideal for recommendation systems and financial modeling.

  • Inter-Chip Interconnect provides 1.2 Tbps bandwidth for low-latency, pod-scale operations.

  • Pathways software enables distributed computing across thousands of TPUs for generative AI.

  • Available in 256-chip clusters or 9,216-chip pods, Ironwood boasts 10x performance and 2x energy efficiency over prior TPUs, per X posts.

AI Still Can’t Debug Like a Human, Microsoft Study Shows

Microsoft Research has released a study showing that AI agents—even those built on top-tier language models—continue to fall short on many software debugging tasks that human developers routinely handle.

The details:

  • The study evaluated nine large language models, including Claude 3.7 Sonnet, by running a “single prompt-based agent” through 300 debugging tasks from the SWE-bench Lite dataset.

  • Even when powered by top-performing coding models, the agent failed to complete about half of the assigned tasks.

  • When debugging tools were introduced, Claude 3.7 Sonnet achieved the highest success rate at 48.4%, followed by OpenAI’s o1 at 30.2% and o3-mini at 22.1%.

  • Researchers pointed to the lack of sequential decision-making data—like human debugging traces—in the training data as the primary reason for this performance gap.

The New Browser-Based Cursor Alternative

DeepSite, a free tool hosted on Hugging Face Spaces, uses DeepSeek V3 to let users create websites and games via natural language prompts, making web development accessible to non-coders.

UI Generated using DeepSite

The Details:

  • DeepSite, built by Hugging Face’s enzostvs, harnesses DeepSeek V3 to convert text prompts into functional web code, no coding skills needed

  • It offers real-time previews in the browser, allowing users to tweak and download projects instantly

  • An X post showcased DeepSite creating an anime website with a single prompt, highlighting its ease of use for creative projects

  • The tool is open-source, free, and requires no software installation, running entirely in the browser

  • Since its early 2025 release, DeepSite has gained traction, with X users noting its potential as a “web version of Cursor”
