At Google Cloud Next ’26, will Google announce a new named TPU generation not publicly announced before April 2, 2026?

Prediction market on metaculus. Google Cloud Next 2026 runs April 22–24. At Next 2025, Google unveiled Ironwood, its seventh-generation TPU; the 2024 recap, by contrast, highlighted TPU v5p general availability and the Axion CPU rather than a freshly named TPU generation. That mixed history makes this a good short-horizon infrastructure question Past hypothetical resolutions: 2025 would have resolved Yes because Google introduced Ironwood. By this exact wording, 2024 would have resolved No, because the recap emphasized TPU v5p GA and Axion CPU rather than unveiling a new named TPU generation.
