Maybe they're looking for stability and trust Google to be around longer than Antrophic or OpenAI when the storm starts.
- rileymat2 4mo agoI may be jaded, but I do not trust Google for product offering stability. Obviously, Apple is a way bigger fish.
- vrosas 4mo agoIt's not a popular opinion on HN but Google is actually super stable from a B2B perspective. Even app engine (2008) is still kicking.
- deepfriedbits 4mo agoBingo. They see this as the future commodity it will be. Customers will choose AI providers much way they choose a car: taste, price, a few other factors. And to your point, Google has a massive balance sheet, produces their own AI chips, and is not going anywhere anytime soon.
- kube-system 4mo agoPeople are not even going to choose their AI providers in the future, it's going to be a part of some other product.
- deepfriedbits 4mo agoI could totally see that

- chinathrow 4mo agoI am familiar what Google has killed before, but a contract with Apple is not something they'll throw out of the window for no reasons.
- cpeterso 4mo agoAnd Apple already has a $20B search partnership with Google they can build on.
- create_accounts 4mo agofair and square, indeed
- Danox 4mo agoGoogle was the right choice stability and it only cost Apple $1 billion per year that’s pretty much of a no-brainer, and with Apple’s history, they probably will use Gemini for as long as they need it and then use their own model in time.
