It is early days on the Generative AI front. I do not expect Google Cloud Platform (GCP) nor Microsoft Azure to have much to show as it relates to Generative AI-related Revenue associated with those respective platforms. I believe Enterprise customers are largely trying to figure out what Generative AI means for them. Therefore, GCP … Continue reading Google, Microsoft and Generative AI Ahead of Tomorrow’s EPS Print
The way I see Generative AI playing out across the enterprise will be that companies will lean on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for Core Generative AI services. The simple truth is that most enterprises do not have the knowledge or resources available to build proprietary large language models (LLMs) that underpin Generative … Continue reading AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Will Lead Generative AI
Last month I wrote that in order for ChatGPT and Google Bard to reach their full potential, the respective underlying LLMs would need to be trained with industry-specific data from companies such as Bloomberg, IHS/S&P Global, Cerner/Oracle, etc. Those companies ought to be compensated for granting access to ChatGPT and Google Bard (Google has since … Continue reading Build Your Own NLP Front-End
My outlook as it relates to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Oracle's cloud server business is unchanged as compared to the article we wrote back in January (HERE). Fewer startups will be built upon remote server platforms (AWS and Azure being numbers 1 and 2) as most startups are cutting heads or worse … Continue reading AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle
Back in March 2019 we wrote about the future use of NLP-powered applications across various industries - in particular Financial Services (our 2019 TEK2day article HERE). Microsoft (MSFT) is bringing natural language capability to its Productivity suite - Microsoft 365. This natural language offering has a name: "Copilot". We include an example of Copilot deployed … Continue reading NLP & Productivity Apps: Microsoft Copilot
Sure, if Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL), were to spin off YouTube and Google Cloud it would be easier for Wall Street to value the component parts. However, I'm not sure that YouTube or Google Cloud ought to spin-off. Here's why: Google Cloud: Google Cloud consists of Google Cloud Platform (GCP is the comp to AWS and … Continue reading Spin-Off YouTube and Google Cloud?
I've long argued that Google is the AI King. Here's Why. Mobile. There are only 2 mobile operating systems that matter: Android (72% share) and iOS (28%) share. Therefore, when users interact with their phones through voice, they are primarily using Google's natural language AI (Google Assistant) or Apple's natural language AI (Siri). Nowhere to … Continue reading Putting AI In Perspective
The NASDAQ Composite has had a nice little run, up more than 9% year-to-date. However, I would exercise caution ahead of Tech earnings and the Fed's January 31st / February 1st FOMC meeting. We have written on numerous occasions that we expect management teams to take a conservative approach to 2023 Revenue and EPS guidance. … Continue reading Technology Stocks Are Not Yet In The Clear
Past recessions have taught us that leading Technology companies typically gain marketshare during down economies. I would expect this economic down period to be no different. Good news for Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and others. Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT): Amazon's AWS unit and Microsoft's Azure unit will be mixed bags: Usage: Usage - and … Continue reading Technology Leaders Will Gain Share
AWS is Amazon's (AMZN) most profitable business unit (26% operating margin in the September quarter), and is subsidizing other Amazon business units. While AWS allocates capital to other AMZN business units, competing cloud platforms Azure and Google Cloud are capital allocation recipients. While AWS touts its new, high-end Graviton chips - these chips will compete … Continue reading AWS vs. Azure vs. Google Cloud
