TECH IN THE NEWS

Buying The Dip — Trump tweeted to buy the dip three hours before pausing some tariffs (but not China who get 110% tariffs ), triggering the biggest stock rally ever.

The Hangover — Thursday saw a sense of reversal in sentiment as analysts foresee de-risking from U.S. markets amidst a US/China trade war and CPI. Stocks sank and 'safe-haven' assets exploded with gold up 3% to a new high. BTC fell.

Treasury Tumbles — A selloff in U.S. Treasuries sparked by tariffs widened bid-ask spreads and forced hedge funds to unwind trades. The Fed warned of persistent recession risks and inflation.

A $36 Billion Day — Elon Musk achieved the largest single-day wealth increase ever, at $36 billion as the tariff pause set a new record for overall billionaires' surges.

Nvidia’s Export Reprieve — Nvidia may avoid tighter AI chip export restrictions to China after CEO Jensen Huang met with Trump. In exchange, Nvidia will invest in US datacenters. Chinese firms are stockpiling H20 GPUs due to trade tensions.

Google's AI Leap — Sundar Pichai unveiled cutting-edge advancements at Google Cloud Next 2025, including the seventh-generation TPU, Cloud Wide Area Network, Willow chip for quantum computing, and Gemini 2.5 reasoning model.

Coal Comeback? — Trump plans to sign an executive order promoting coal as a critical mineral for data centers, aiming to delay plant closures.

THE HOTTEST THING IN TECH

Google’s $75B Multi-Agent AI Hypercomputer

The Enterprise Cloud AI race just kicked up a notch. At Cloud Next 25, Google placed a massive bet on a strategy bridging fundamental AI infrastructure—including the latest TPU and AI Hypercomputer updates—and an expansive multi-agent AI ecosystem designed for enterprise applications. Among the major announcements were the Gemini 2.5 Flash reasoning model, advanced developer AI tooling, agentic AI app coding frameworks, robotics innovations, real-time AI-powered screen sharing, and even groundbreaking entertainment ventures, notably a massive AI-powered adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz" for the Sphere using Veo 2 and Imagen 3.

Alphabet underscored its ambition by announcing a staggering $75B investment to build out not only advanced AI silicon and computational systems but also the platforms and protocols needed to make AI more accessible, collaborative, and deeply integrated across industries.

Why It Matters: Cloud AI Wars

The recent "DeepSeek Effect" has shaken up cloud AI, prompting market giants to reconsider their approach. With more cost-effective AI models entering the market, enterprises might achieve powerful results at lower costs, pushing cloud providers toward heightened price sensitivity. Google and Amazon’s strategic response involves doubling down on premium infrastructure to capture and maintain the high-end market. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy’s latest shareholder report echoes this, stressing significant AI investment as crucial for Amazon to stay competitive.

Simultaneously, economic uncertainties are pushing advertisers to pivot toward larger, more stable platforms such as Google, Meta, and Amazon, as reported by The Information. This indicates that tech giants with robust infrastructure and proven AI capabilities may benefit disproportionately during economic volatility.

What Google Unveiled:

Cloud Next 25 featured several groundbreaking updates:

An AI Hypercomputer

Google unveiled powerful new infrastructure specifically tailored for demanding AI workloads. Central to this is the seventh-generation TPU, Ironwood, which boasts significantly increased computing power and memory bandwidth. Software enhancements further accelerate AI inference, complemented by more flexible and economical consumption models, enabling enterprises to deploy sophisticated AI solutions efficiently and cost-effectively at scale.

Notably, amidst intensifying competition in the AI accelerator market, Google's Ironwood TPU demonstrates significant upgrades over previous generations, marking a decisive step forward in specialized hardware optimized for AI inference.

Interestingly, chip tensions just eased a bit as reports emerged of President Trump reconsidering AI chip export curbs to China following intense lobbying by Nvidia.

Agentspace Multi-agent AI Systems

Google significantly expanded its multi-agent AI capabilities with new development tools like the Agent Development Kit, Agent Garden, and Agent Engine integrated into Vertex AI. The introduction of the Agent2Agent communication protocol facilitates cross-platform interactions, empowering enterprises to automate complex workflows and tasks more seamlessly than ever.

Firebase Studio

The launch of Firebase Studio provides developers a comprehensive full-stack environment to build and deploy agentic apps rapidly. Coupled with the release of the production-ready Live API, it empowers enterprises to innovate quickly.

Advanced Media Generation Tools

Google's enterprise cloud platform is now a powerhouse for creative and media industries, democratizing high-end generative capabilities for enterprise use. Vertex AI now supports cutting-edge media generation tools, including API access to Veo 2 for video generation and editing, Lyria for text-to-music creation, Chirp 3 for voice cloning, and significantly improved performance in Imagen 3 for image generation.

Open Standards and Collaboration

Google also followed OpenAI by adopting Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) in a strategic move toward greater interoperability and standardization in AI ecosystems. This facilitates seamless data exchange between AI models and diverse business tools, encouraging more interconnected and adaptable AI apps.

AI-Powered Entertainment and Robotics

Demonstrating AI’s transformative potential in entertainment, Google's groundbreaking AI reinterpretation of "The Wizard of Oz" for the immersive Sphere venue showcases sophisticated generative AI capabilities, including super-resolution, outpainting, and immersive storytelling.

Samsung and Google Cloud have even partnered to integrate Google's Gemini AI into Ballie, Samsung’s home AI robot set to launch in the U.S. and Korea this summer. Ballie will assist users with scheduling, health management, and home automation, an exciting evolution in consumer-facing AI robotics.

The Takeaway

Google’s extensive investment and innovative updates highlight its commitment to maintaining dominance in Cloud AI infrastructure and enterprise solutions. This multi-faceted approach positions it to effectively address industry demand for powerful, cost-effective, and highly integrated AI systems. Time will tell whether there is a demand and ROI justification for these tools over cheaper alternatives.
