Alphabet develops Frozen v2 AI chip to improve Gemini efficiency

The reported Frozen v2 effort is positioned ahead of Alphabet's Q2 earnings report on Wednesday, July 22.

Alphabet is reportedly working on a new AI chip called Frozen v2 to improve the efficiency of its Gemini model, as a cloud capacity crunch pushes the company to use compute more effectively, according to MarketBeat Ratings.

The outlet links the chip development to expectations for Alphabet ahead of its Q2 earnings report due on Wednesday, July 22, framing the move as relevant to how the company may manage demand for its AI services.

MarketBeat Ratings also notes that Alphabet currently carries a Moderate Buy rating among analysts, though the subscription content provided does not include additional details on the chip beyond the efficiency and timing rationale.
