Business Description

Overview As our founders Larry and Sergey wrote in the original founders' letter, "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one." That unconventional spirit has been a driving force throughout our history, inspiring us to tackle big problems and invest in moonshots. It led us to be a pioneer in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and, since 2016, be an AI-first company. We continue this work under the leadership of Alphabet and Google CEO, Sundar Pichai. Alphabet is a collection of businesses — the largest of which is Google. We report Google in two segments, Google Services and Google Cloud, and all non-Google businesses collectively as Other Bets. Supporting these businesses, we have centralized certain AI-related research and development focused on advanced research in AI and developing the frontier models that serve our businesses, which is reported in Alphabet-level activities. Alphabet's structure is about helping each of our businesses prosper through strong leaders and independence. Access and Technology for Everyone The Internet is one of the world’s most powerful equalizers; it propels ideas, people, and businesses large and small. Our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful is as relevant today as it was when we were founded in 1998. Since then, we have evolved from a company that helps people find answers to a company that also helps people get things done. We are focused on building an even more helpful Google for everyone, and we aspire to give everyone the tools they need to increase their knowledge, health, happiness, and success. Google Search helps people find information and make sense of the world in more natural and intuitive ways, with trillions of searches on Google every year. YouTube provides people with entertainment, information, and opportunities to learn something new and helps support the creator economy through the YouTube Partner Program. Google Cloud helps customers build for the future, improve productivity, reduce costs, and unlock new growth engines. We continually innovate and build new products and features to help our users, partners, customers, and communities and have invested more than $200 billion in research and development in the last five years in support of these efforts. 3. Table of Contents Alphabet Inc. Making AI Helpful for Everyone We believe AI is a profound platform shift that can bring meaningful and positive change to people and societies across the world, and to our business. We aim to build the most advanced, safe, and responsible AI through our full-stack approach, which spans AI-optimized infrastructure; world-class research, including models and tooling; and our products and platforms that bring AI to billions of people, developers, and enterprises. At the foundation of our full-stack approach is our AI-optimized infrastructure — a key differentiator enabling us to power our own products, such as Search and YouTube, and support the services we provide to our Google Cloud customers. Our technical infrastructure allows us to use and offer our customers a range of AI accelerator options, including specialized Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and our own custom-built Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), such as Ironwood, our seventh-generation TPU. We are focused on driving efficiencies in our data centers, allowing us to leverage our technical infrastructure to deliver our products and services at an increasing scale while simultaneously enabling world-class research and model development. Over the last decade, our research teams have pushed the boundaries of AI forward, which is displayed through Gemini 3, our most intelligent AI model yet. Designed to deliver advanced multimodal understanding, Gemini 3 represents our most capable iteration of agentic and generative coding technologies. Gemini 3 integrates enhanced reasoning capabilities to support visualizations and interactive user experiences across our product ecosystem, including Search and the Gemini app. As technology continues to improve rapidly, we are focused on bringing our latest AI advances to our products and platforms. We continue to help our users access information and knowledge, express themselves, and get things done by embedding the power of generative AI and Gemini into our products and platforms. Today, all 15 of our half-billion-user products — including seven with two billion users — use our Gemini models.…
