Another strong quarter of Alphabet earnings driven by our full-stack approach!
I’m incredibly proud of how our teams are taking frontier capabilities and bringing them to billions of users around the world through products like Google Search. Some highlights we shared:
+ Our AI-powered features are driving increased Search usage.
+ AI Overviews and AI Mode are driving growth in overall queries, and AI Mode has over 1 billion monthly users!
+ Search usage hit an all-time high during the World Cup this year, showing how much people turn to Google in these global moments.
+ We continue to accelerate the use of Gemini across our ads stack – improving ads quality, advertiser tools, and new AI user experiences. In fact, over half our SMB customers are now using AI to create or optimize their creatives.
An important part of how we deliver results like these is behind-the-scenes work that users don’t usually see but absolutely feel.
Two recent examples I love:
+ Search was able to handle record-breaking queries per second during the World Cup thanks to awesome advanced infra and capacity planning work.
+ We reduced the cost of serving AI Mode responses to their lowest since launch -- even as we’ve introduced more advanced AI capabilities -- thanks to really smart eng and hardware optimizations.
Zooming out, as a long-time Googler, it’s exciting for me to see how Cloud is taking off with revenue growing 82%… a strong proof-point of our differentiated full-stack approach delivering real value to users and customers!
Huge thanks to the Googlers, users, customers, and partners making this possible… lots to look forward to!
