> It's crazy that Google doesn't spin-out their TPU work as a separate company.

Not really. Google TPUs require google's specific infrastructure, and cannot be deployed out side the Google Datacenter. The software is google specific, the monetization model is google specific.

We also have no idea how profitable TPUs would actually be if a separate company. The only customer of TPUs is Google and Google Cloud.
