All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet | The All-In Interview

But I would say across our products, people are coming and using and consuming information across search, using the Gemini model increasingly, in YouTube, in the Gemini app and so on. So I think it's a much broader view we have.

Look, this is something I think people are really worried about two years ago, but have always felt to the extent that something is about the cost of serving it, Google with its infrastructure, I'd wager on that, right? And on our chances to do that better than pretty much anyone else.

And we've actually seen for a given query, the cost to serve that query has fallen dramatically in an 18-month timeframe. What is probably more of a constraint is latency, I would say. So it's less the cost per query. I think our ability to serve the experience at the right latency, search has been near instant. So how do you think about that frontier has been more of a question.

The cost per query is not what I think will end up, you know, I think we'll be able to, we've done the transition well. That's not a primary driver of how it'll impact things, yeah.

You know, we already with AI overviews, you know, we are at the baseline of, you know, it's the same as without AI overviews. And so we've reached that stage. But from there, we can improve, right? And I think... I've always felt the reason ads have worked well in search is because commercial information is also information.

People, when they have that intent, are looking for that most relevant information. I don't see any reason why AI, just from a first principle standpoint, why won't AI do a better job there as well? And so I think we are comfortable that we can work the transition through. Some of it may take time, but all indicators are that we'll be able to do it well. Over time. Over time.

Two things. I mean, the main, it's a moment of acceleration, right? So if anything, The good thing about these moments is you don't even have a lot of time to think about some of those questions. I think a lot about making sure we have the best models. We are pushing the frontier as a company, and I think the last few months have shown the breadth and range of what we are doing.

We are there, and we have to continue to stay there. So for me, you think and you worry a lot more about execution from within, that's all. Are we executing? Are we moving fast? Are we innovating? And I think over the past 12 months, I think we've really picked up pace as a company to meet the moment. So that's where I do spend a lot of time.

Look, as a CEO, one of the first things I did in 2015, in addition to being AI first, was to really bet big on You know, we had great products like YouTube, we had Workspace and Cloud, but really turning them into robust businesses, right? As well as great products. Last year, we exited a combination of YouTube and cloud at $110 billion.
