Google released a report this morning with some measurements of their GenAI platforms' power consumption. It's unclear from the report what datacenter was being monitored to get these numbers and what the distributions of "power/query" look like. I would take this with a grain of salt.

Re: Google's quantum chip statement - Not sure how we're getting from A -> B here. Also, kind of a weird thing to include in an ostensibly serious company press release. blog.google/technology/r...
