Highlights
“And so picking up pace and releasing models almost at a monthly cadence is part of our road map as we are building Gemini for as well.”
“So it feels like, if anything, over the past year, we've gotten more bullish on the opportunities ahead.”
“Demand for our models is translating to strong token usage across developers and enterprise customers, and we continue to be supply constrained, a sign of momentum and rapid adoption.”
“In terms of allocating TPUs, look, our first priority is making sure we are allocating what we need to compete at the frontier in terms of AGI development and so that is the foundation for everything we do.”
“And just like AI Overviews, AI mode is driving an incremental increase in search queries overall, and we are now sending billions of clicks to websites every week through AI features in Search.”
“We have started our most ambitious pretraining run yet for Gemini 4 and are excited by the progress we are seeing at the frontier.”
“I am very excited by the progress I'm seeing internally on Gemini 4, and I'm confident that people will be pleased when we are putting it outside.”
“Look, I think the frontier is incredibly dynamic space, and it's fiercely moving forward.”
“Our AI investments are redefining what's possible across every part of our business.”
“Our continued momentum is driven by our integrated AI portfolio, consisting of chips, models, data, security and agent platforms, all designed to work together.”
“But it's very important to us to have the best frontier models out there as well as models, which are very performant and low cost.”
“As a big football fan, I was particularly excited to see Search usage hit an all-time high during the World Cup this year.”
“As just one example, a team in Chrome is now on track to accelerate delivery by 8 times compressing a 2-year time line into 3 months through model-driven refactoring.”
“And the incremental opportunities they are bringing to us while a short-term cost over a few months may be very high in the lifetime of the deal as we bring more capacity on, is highly ROI positive, right?”
