Pichai says Google isn’t falling behind in AI, calls Gemini 4 a major upgrade after Gemini 3.5 Pro delay
Alphabet earnings highlighted strong execution in cloud and AI commercialization (Google Cloud +82% YoY; backlog $514B; Gemini 950M MAUs), but also surfaced product risk as Gemini 3.5 Pro was delayed for underperforming in coding/agentic tasks. Pichai framed Gemini 4 as a major step-up, yet elevated capex expectations and perceived AI leadership gaps drove an after-hours share decline, keeping near-term focus on AI competitiveness and spending discipline.
