Google just crossed $400 billion in revenue — and is about to spend almost half of it on AI

Google just shared some huge news that has everyone talking. It is making more money than ever before. For the first time, it made over $400 billion in a single year. That is a stack of cash so big it is hard to even dream of. But it isn't just sitting on it. The company is about to spend it in a way that will change how we use the web.

Google plans to spend up to $185 billion this year. Why? It is building giant homes for their new AI, called Gemini 3. It needs new chips and tons of power to keep it running. Right now, so many people want to use Gemini 3, and Google can't even keep up!

Google's CEO said the company made billions, but these tools cost a lot to build. This means the firm might not make as much profit for a few years. It is still moving ahead with the big plan and does not care; it is betting everything on the fact that AI is the future for all of us.

The most shocking part of the news is about Apple. For years, these two were huge rivals. Now, they are best friends. Google is now the top pick for Apple’s cloud needs. This means when you use your iPhone, Google’s tech might be the "brain" behind the scenes.

Both companies are working hand in hand to make new models for your phone. This is a huge win for both sides. It means your next phone will likely be way smarter because these two giants are finally working on the same team.

Some people were scared that AI would kill off old apps and ways of working. Google says that is just not true. They showed that big names like Shopify are using Google’s AI to grow faster. It is not here to end jobs or kill apps. It is here to act like a jet engine for them.

Even YouTube is seeing a big boost. It made over $60 billion this year! The AI helps pick the best videos for you to watch and makes ads better, too. Even the old way of searching for stuff on the web is growing. It turns out that AI makes searching better, not worse.
