The internet giant has released new AI software and struck deals, such as a chip tie-up with Anthropic PBC, that have reassured investors the company won't easily lose to ChatGPT creator OpenAI and other rivals."
"Google's cloud business, once an also-ran, is growing steadily, thanks in part to the global rush to develop AI services and demand for compute.

Specialized Google AI chips are emerging as alternatives to Nvidia hardware, and reports of potential Meta adoption helped send Alphabet shares higher and boost market capitalization.
