Google Just Won AI: How Its $1B Siri Deal and Data Empire Are Smashing OpenAI

Google's AI infrastructure and data ecosystem

Google’s AI chief just dropped a bombshell: The company now controls the entire stack of AI power—from silicon to your iPhone—and is weaponizing it to crush OpenAI.

Quote: 'Three years after being caught off guard by ChatGPT, Gemini appears to have everything it needs to take down OpenAI and everyone else.'

Google's Gemini 3 is 'widely regarded as the best overall large language model on the market' according to The Verge’s benchmark analysis, trained using Google's proprietary TPUs for full-stack control. Apple will pay $1 billion/year to power next-generation Siri with Gemini, processing 'something like 1.5 billion requests every day' through Google's AI.

Google's 'Personal Intelligence' feature connects Gemini to user data including YouTube history, emails, photos, and Chrome data for personalized responses. The AI Mode in Search aims to become 'the future of Search' by serving as 'a portal to all of Google’s data about you.'

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has emphasized needing 'trillions of dollars in compute' to compete with Google's infrastructure advantages. Quote: 'Google has the models. It has the resources to improve them. It now has the distribution necessary to get people to use its bots, and the data required to make them uniquely personal and useful.'
