Gemini will revamp Google’s Cloud business
One of Google’s biggest money makers is a side of the company you interact with every day, but one most people never think about. Google Cloud offers a variety of services for businesses, including data storage, data analytics and machine learning, and a set of management tools. A huge portion of the business world’s technology stack runs on Google Cloud, and Gemini is set to usher in the next era of the platform.
Along with the broader Gemini announcements, Google unveiled Cloud TPU v5p, a new version of its computer chips built for AI that companies can harness remotely through Google Cloud. Building and training AI tools requires an enormous amount of processing power, and Google is setting itself up for success with chips optimized for the task — especially because it’s building its own AI models to run Cloud TPU v5e, which will encourage more people to choose Gemini over GPT-4 and other offerings. It’s wonky stuff, but it’s a sign that Google is making huge bets on its AI business.
