The AI Race: Why Investors Are Betting on Google’s gemini
The Shifting Landscape of Large Language Models
All eyes are on the Big Tech LLM race and, at least in the eyes of investors,it truly seems like Google (owned by Alphabet,No. 7) could run away with the win.The competition to develop and deploy leading-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) is intensifying, with notable financial implications for the tech giants involved.
google’s Gemini has been steadily stealing buzz and AI traffic share over the last few months from OpenAI. And if there was any moat to be had in LLMs,it would seem like it would belong to the company with the biggest treasure chest of personal data on users. That almost indisputably would be Google, thanks to Android, YouTube, Search history, Maps, and Gmail. On top of that, the company has one of the top AI minds, Demis Hassabis, and Google cofounder Sergey Brin leading its troops toward dominance.
Perhaps that’s why Sam Altman is setting his sights on winning what could be an even higher-stakes AI battle: creating the future mass AI consumer device. Altman feels that in the long term, his greatest foe will be Apple (No. 4), not Google, Meta (No. 22).
Google’s Unique Advantages with Gemini
Google possesses several key advantages in the LLM race,primarily stemming from its vast data resources and leading AI talent. The company’s access to user data across its diverse platforms – including the 1.5 billion active Android users as of statista data from Q1 2024, and the billions who use YouTube and Google Search – provides a significant training dataset for its models.
Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, is a leading figure in the field of artificial intelligence, known for his work on AlphaGo and AlphaFold. Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder, has also become actively involved in Gemini’s development, signaling the company’s commitment to achieving AI leadership. This combination of data and expertise positions Google favorably.
Gemini’s Capabilities
Gemini is a multimodal model, meaning it can process and understand various types of facts, including text, code, audio, images, and video. According to
