Google Cloud has become the platform of choice for startups building AI. Our uniquely complete stack — including a choice of first- and third-party compute and models ; our platform for building and managing agents; and our products for securing AI workloads — has emerged as the single most important driver of this growth and it is powering AI development for many of the most exciting and innovative startups in the world. As a result, startups are choosing to build and run on Google Cloud at a higher rate than they were three years ago, at the start of the AI era.
