Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has reached a significant milestone by achieving a valuation of $4 trillion, following a 2% rise in its stock value. This increase occurred after Apple decided to use Google’s Gemini for its artificial intelligence functionalities.
Earlier this year, Nvidia and Microsoft crossed the $4 trillion threshold in July, with Apple joining them in October. After achieving a $3 trillion valuation in September, both Apple and Microsoft have since dropped below the $4 trillion milestone. Analyst Deepak Mathivanan highlighted on January 8 that the benefits of the Gemini assistant, bolstered by Google’s foundational resources, are not fully understood when compared to ChatGPT, emphasizing Google’s extensive presence across the AI technology sector due to its long-term investments.
Recently, Google introduced Ironwood, its latest generation of custom AI chips, along with Gemini 3. On the same day, it was announced that Apple and Google are embarking on a multi-year partnership, where future Apple Foundation Models will utilize Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology to enhance AI features like Siri. This collaboration aims to ensure that Apple Intelligence remains on its devices while upholding its strong privacy standards, as 70% of Google Cloud customers are reported to utilize its AI offerings amid growing demand.
