Google's latest financial report shows that its AI product Gemini has developed rapidly, with API calls increasing 14 times in half a year. It has been deeply integrated into core applications such as Google Maps and Google Search, with services covering 2 billion users. Gemini standalone applications and Android Assistant integration also achieved significant growth, bringing considerable revenue growth to Google's cloud computing division, up 35% year-on-year to $11.4 billion, and operating revenue increased significantly to $1.95 billion. Google continues to promote AI innovation, and the "Project Astra" project is expected to be launched in 2025 to create a smarter human-computer interactive experience.
In terms of product implementation, Google has begun to inject Gemini's capabilities into its core application matrix. At present, major products such as Google Maps and Google Search have completed in-depth integration with Gemini, and their service coverage has reached 2 billion users. It is worth noting that Gemini standalone applications and features integrated in Android Assistant also gained considerable user growth.
Judging from financial performance, the artificial intelligence business is bringing substantial returns to Google. The revenue growth of the cloud computing sector was particularly impressive, with a year-on-year increase of 35% to US$11.4 billion, including AI services and third-party business revenue. More importantly, the sector's operating income has climbed sharply from $270 million last year to $1.95 billion, with a strong growth trend.
Looking to the future, Google has not stopped innovating. Pichai revealed that the company is fully committed to promoting a new project code-named "Project Astra", which is expected to be released in 2025. The core goal of this project is to create an AI system that can understand and perceive the user's surrounding environment, which is expected to bring users a smarter and more natural human-computer interaction experience.
This series of actions shows that Google is deeply engaged in the AI field and continues to consolidate its competitive advantage in the artificial intelligence track through technological innovation and product iteration. With the continuous maturity of the Gemini ecosystem, we have reason to expect Google to bring more breakthrough progress in the next generation of AI assistants.
Google's strategic layout in the field of artificial intelligence is clearly visible. Gemini's rapid development and the planning of future project "Project Astra" indicate that Google will continue to make efforts in the field of AI and lead the development trend of the next generation of AI technology. Its successful integration in the fields of cloud computing and AI will inject strong impetus into Google's future development and deserve continuous attention.
