Gemini's 950M Users: Pichai's Answer to Meta AI

Alphabet achieved a historic milestone, posting a quarterly profit with 12 figures for the first time. The company's second-quarter revenue grew by 24% to $119.8 billion. Google Cloud business saw an 82% growth. CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted that Google's "full stack approach to AI is delivering real, measurable value." He noted that the Gemini app reached 950 million monthly active users. This figure earned praise from Elon Musk, who called it "Impressive." Pichai's numbers for the Gemini app also serve as a response to Meta AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who recently questioned Gemini's performance. Wang had reposted a message suggesting Meta was "beating" Google Gemini. Google also announced new models like Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. Demand for their models is causing supply constraints, indicating rapid adoption. This shows the significant impact of AI in today's tech landscape.
