(i)    advanced manufacturing; (ii)   biotechnology; (iii)  critical materials; (iv)   nuclear fission and fusion energy; (v)    quantum information science; and (vi)   semiconductors and microelectronics.

One of the learnings is to not send the same information/text multiple times in the same session.

»Google’s silicon supremacy among hyperscalers is unmatched, with their TPU 7th Gen arguably on par with Nvidia Blackwell. TPU powers the Gemini family of models which are improving in capability and sit close to the pareto frontier of $ per intelligence in some tasks«

If you're coming from JavaScript, the rule is simple:Every await always yields to the event loop.Every async function always returns a task (a Promise).The moment you write await, the runtime can schedule something else.
