NEW YORK: Once a money-losing backwater, Google Cloud has become one of Alphabet’s fastest-growing businesses, powered by massive bets on AI and years of costly investment in datacenters, custom chips, and networking gear.
Alphabet’s cloud revenue topped $15 billion in the third quarter, a 34% increase reflecting strong demand for AI infrastructure and services, including Google’s own Gemini model, the company announced Wednesday.
