Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google has spent the past few years establishing itself as one of the biggest forces in artificial intelligence (AI). From expanding Gemini across Search, Workspace, and Android to investing heavily in custom TPUs and next-generation data centers, the tech giant has built a powerful AI ecosystem backed by world-class models, massive computing resources, and billions of users.
But the AI race is only getting more competitive. Meta Platforms (META), the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, has ruled a digital empire. Now, it is betting big on AI with an aggressive push to become one of the industry’s top AI players. Under CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it has committed billions of dollars to AI infrastructure, custom chips, top-tier talent, and a network of gigawatt-scale data centers designed to dramatically increase its computing power. Meta is also accelerating the rollout of new AI models and developer tools as it races to build more capable AI agents.
