Frontier AI refers to advanced AI models that push the boundaries of what existing systems can do. Developing and operating these models requires significant computing resources, which Google must allocate across its AI initiatives and cloud services for customers.
\n\nAnalysts believe this essentially means that Google is prioritising the development of advanced artificial intelligence over earning some revenue in the short-term. Cloud provides computing power and infrastructure that businesses use to build and run AI tools.
