Pichai says Google Cloud's 2027 compute is largely committed
Overview
Google CEO Sundar Pichai says Google Cloud is giving up short-term revenue to make compute tradeoffs that support frontier AI development.
In an interview with Alex Kantrowitz, published as a full video on Kantrowitz's YouTube channel, Pichai says a new customer asking for compute in 2027 would be "incredibly difficult" to accommodate. He says Google leased some short-term compute last year to serve customers.
The quotes are Pichai's own statements as reported by Rohan Paul on X. The reports do not include any figures on Google Cloud capacity or revenue.
