In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I reveal how Palantir leapfrogged the competition with 63% cloud growth, shaking up the Cloud Wars Top 10.Highlights00:14 — Periodically, I do an update on what I call the Cloud Wars Growth Chart. The latest list shows that Palantir — new to the Cloud Wars Top 10 — is number one in fastest growth, by a long shot. Google Cloud, which for the last six quarters had been the fastest growing, is now in the number two spot. Oracle comes in at number three.01:06 — So let's see here: Palantir — look at this — 63% growth to $1.12 billion. Previous quarter growth rate: 48%. Pretty nice when you can go from 48% to 63% in a market like this. So the question is: What is Palantir doing that has allowed them to grow at these dramatically higher growth rates?02:05 — Number two, Google Cloud. 34% growth to $15.2 billion. That's an acceleration from the previous quarter's 32% growth. The third: Oracle. 28% growth, $7.2 billion in cloud revenue — up from 27%. SAP grew 27% in Q3, $6.14 billion. Previously 28%. Then Microsoft grew 26% in cloud revenue to $49.1 billion for the quarter, down from the previous quarter's growth rate of 27%.03:07 — We saw growth throughout the Cloud Wars Top 10. Six of the nine that report their cloud revenue said that they are seeing accelerating growth from one quarter ago to their most recent quarter. So six out of nine growth rates going up, even as they're getting bigger. Now the outlier there is IBM, which does not break out its cloud revenue.03:47 — The other big thing I see coming along is that we are moving into a place now where it's becoming fuzzy between cloud and AI. Because cloud, after all, is the delivery vehicle that has made AI now something accessible to every individual in the world.04:40 — So, we see these sort of intertwined, bonded pairs of cloud and AI. It's been fascinating to watch this. And these growth rates show the market is getting hotter. These companies are growing faster — for the most part — remarkable. So, hats off to Palantir, Google Cloud, Oracle, and all the others on this list. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In this episode of The Marketing Factor, Austin Dandridge sits down with Julian Modiano founder of Acuto and Weavely to unpack the future of data, automation, and AI inside modern marketing agencies.Julian's rare background blends deep PPC experience from Merkle and Brainlabs with true engineering chops as a Google Cloud developer — giving him a uniquely technical and marketer-centric view of what agencies actually need. We cover data warehousing, MMM vs attribution models, AI slop, automation pitfalls, BigQuery, Looker, TikTok's rise, and whether agencies should hire developers. This episode is loaded with practical insights for performance marketers, operators, founders, and anyone building the “agency of the future.”

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore how tech rivals are becoming collaborators to better serve customer innovation.Highlights00:43 — I call SAP and Snowflake's recent announcement a promiscuous partnership that's powerful and promising. I'll try not to trip over too many more P's here, but I think the point of this is we're seeing the promiscuous side: big tech companies that, you know, were very selective about how they worked with each other in the past.01:04 — I think now we're seeing that there are great advantages toward them aligning in ways — working together to do things for customers that neither could do individually. I think the ultimate example of this is the Oracle multicloud deals with Microsoft, Google Cloud, and AWS. So, in this case here, now we see both SAP and Snowflake are in the data cloud space.02:04 — This could have been a situation where SAP and Snowflake might have said: "I have a Data Cloud. You have one. We're going to compete" — but the result would be — “We're going to make customers' lives more miserable, because to work with both the SAP Data Cloud and the Snowflake Data Cloud, those customers are going to have to find workarounds and ways to integrate and all that.” Instead, they said, “Let's try to do this together.”03:00 — Some highlights: it accelerates customer innovation because they can spend more time focusing on business innovation, growth, and new business models, rather than a lot of expense on integration. The two companies, Snowflake and SAP, have intertwined their brands, which I think reveals to customers a very powerful commitment. This solution is called SAP Snowflake.03:55 — The AI revolution has put all sorts of new and interesting, challenging stresses on customers, right? And on the Cloud Wars Top 10 vendors: it can't just be business as usual for customers. The tech vendors have to operate differently — not just in the products they create but in the alliances they strike.04:46 — I tip my hat to Snowflake and SAP, and I think we're going to be seeing lots more of these promiscuous partnerships break out as the needs of the AI Revolution require customers to do things differently — which, in turn, compels the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies to behave in different ways.

L'intelligenza artificiale è spesso associata a promesse futuristiche anche in campo medico, ma la vera sfida è capire dove può davvero fare la differenza e come. Al CNAO, il Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica di Pavia, si trattano tumori inoperabili o resistenti alla radioterapia tradizionale utilizzando fasci di protoni e ioni carbonio con una precisione millimetrica. L'intelligenza artificiale non è ancora parte integrante di questi protocolli, ma si stanno studiando applicazioni molto concrete: migliorare la qualità delle immagini, ridurre i tempi delle sedute e ottimizzare il lavoro dei medici. Per capire dove siamo davvero e quali sono le prospettive future abbiamo invitato Andrea Pella, bioingegnere presso il CNAO.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo del nuovo ecosistema di Valve, che include Steam Machine e il visore Steam Frame e di Google che presenta Private AI Compute, la sua piattaforma cloud per l'esecuzione sicura di modelli di IA.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione01:37 - La nuova piattaforma gaming di Valve (SpazioGames.it, Matteo Gallo)03:11 - Google presenta Private AI Compute (DDay.it, Luca Martinelli)04:46 - CNAO: l'intelligenza artificiale può supportare l'adroterapia oncologica?

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I take a look at how Oracle's bold multicloud partnerships — with Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud.Highlights00:15 — One of the ways in which Oracle has been distinguishing itself is not just with its new technology, but with interesting go-to-market approaches. Now, Ellison recently said that while Oracle's multicloud business, where its three competitors, Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud, all offer the Oracle Database to their customers, that revenue was up over 1,500%.01:11 — He said so far, almost all of that growth has been generated by the Microsoft partnership because it was the first to come on board. Ellison believes that as the AWS partnership and Google get up to speed — and they get all the infrastructure set up to support that — you'd think that's going to drive a new round of growth for the Oracle Database business.02:12 — Can the Oracle Database hit $20 billion in revenue in five years? Ellison seemed bullish on that. One reason is the new Oracle AI Database, purpose-built for the AI Revolution. Second is these multicloud partnerships. There's such a demand among customers who have wanted the Oracle Database but have felt trapped using Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.03:15 — The AI reasoning, which Ellison was calling it, also known as inferencing, is something a lot of companies are going to be doing when they take these new tools and say, “How do I suit this for my retail company or my clothing company or my trucking company?” That's where, Ellison said, everybody's going to want to do this. He sees massive demand for it.04:32 — In a full-length article that I have today on CloudWars.com, I offer four specific points on why this approach that Ellison led with Oracle — and that the others fully agreed to — is so important. It's a great trend moving forward in the direction of more capability, more choice, more power in the hands of customers here in the buyer-seller equation. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In this special live episode of the Shift AI Podcast recorded at Seattle AI Week, Dr. Andre Alfred, who leads threat operations and security for Google Cloud's Fortune 500 customers, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for an eye-opening conversation about the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. With his remarkable journey from high school help desk operator to earning his PhD and leading security operations at Microsoft, Oracle, and Google, Andre brings a unique perspective on protecting critical infrastructure in an era where adversaries have access to the same powerful AI tools as defenders.From data poisoning threats that could compromise healthcare diagnostics to the challenges of securing physical infrastructure like water systems and power grids, Andre shares what keeps him up at night and why two-factor authentication isn't optional anymore. The conversation explores how AI is transforming both offensive and defensive capabilities in cybersecurity, why the next generation of jobs will be defined by leaders rather than technology, and Andre's commitment to visibility as an African American leader in tech. Through his scholarship program at Western Governors University, Andre is opening pathways for the next generation of cybersecurity and healthcare professionals. If you're wondering about the real security threats we're not thinking about—and why the future of work requires "more focus"—this conversation offers crucial insights from someone defending some of the world's most critical systems.Chapters[00:00] Introduction and Boaz's Journey to the Shift AI Podcast [02:37] Andre's Background and Role at Google Cloud Security [03:44] The Non-Traditional Path: From Help Desk to PhD [06:25] The Decision to Return to College and Transform Your Career [08:41] From Capital One to Microsoft to Google [12:03] What It's Like to Wake Up Every Morning in Threat Operations [14:21] The Bittersweet Reality: When Innovation Can Be Weaponized [15:31] Data Poisoning and Healthcare: The Threat We're Not Thinking About [18:37] Teaching Kids to Question What They See Online [20:06] Physical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities and Social Engineering [24:09] The Future of AI and Cybersecurity in 2030 [26:24] Creating Jobs of the Future Through Education [29:41] The Intersection of Cybersecurity and Healthcare [32:29] Leaders Must Define the Next Jobs, Not Let Technology Define Them [33:36] Being Visible as an African American in Tech [36:11] Two Words for the Future: "More Focus"Connect with Dr. Andre Alfred LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoalfred/Connect with Boaz Ashkenazy LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy Email: info@shiftai.fmSpecial thank you to Western Governers University for hosting and sponsoring this live episode at the Labor Temple in Seattle WA during AI Week.

Upscale Conference held it's annual European gathering last week in picturesque Málaga, Spain. Creativity and AI may seem strange bedfellows to some with the efficiency drive of AI bumping up against the messy organic nature of creative production. But the bubbling enthusiasm evident at Upscale Conf shows that there are plenty that believe it's an augmentation to the creative process rather than a replacement. Upscale Conf is into its third year with AI Entrepreneur Linus Ekenstam as circus master keeping the crowds energised and making sure the focus is always on the creative output rather than the intricacies of AI models. Upscale Conference 2025 reviewed The optimism evident over the talks spoke to a resilience that design was always governed by the human as editor. Marten Kuipers of Dutch design firm DEPT® proclaimed that "AI does not have taste but you do" gaining a loud cheer from the room. While the AI advancements mean that all sectors are experiencing upheaval, we would expect the stalwarts of the creative industry to be treating AI with kid gloves. Veterans Frog Design were represented by Andreas Markdalen who emphasized the importance of human creativity and collaboration in the face of AI, arguing that the ability to connect with people emotionally and create meaningful experiences remains the most crucial factor in the success of any design project. But AI is pushing barriers and breaking rules and nowhere is this more evident than viral AI video breakout stars The Dor Brothers. Ironically Yonathan Dor is the only Dor that exists, but it doesn't stop him putting out hugely popular political satires with an irreverent group of 10 employees. Given the reaction to the videos, it's maybe no surprise that the White House called him looking for more of his edgy style. Riot But the economics of the media landscape still prevail. As Yonathan Dor states, the Dor Brothers is "still a business. So sometimes we post an ad, they're like, what the fuck is this? Sorry guys, we need to make money. Yeah, you know, we're up front. I think at the end of the day what people appreciate is transparency and honesty." At the moment AI has become a lightning rod for all the controversies, anxiety and optimism swirling around society at large. But as our media landscape is changing Nacho Floristan of Google Cloud predicts that 80% of global internet traffic will be video by 2030. Whether that is dominated entirely by AI generated content remains to be seen. FreePik Spaces One of the common issues around AI generation is the parallel task to run models, compare outputs, test parameters and tweak workflows. A hodge podge of techniques might work for an individual, but has been hampering the ability for companies and groups to adopt AI into their workflows. Upscale's sponsor, the local Málaga firm, FreePik, used the conference venue to launch their solution to this problem. FreePik Spaces is an impressive blend of collaboration features and node based workflows. FreePik seems to be tackling the bugbear of most enthusiasts in this Creative AI space. What was previously only available to ComfyUI tinkerers and those comfortable with GitHub repositories is now a node or two away. Brands can stay aligned while generating work and the shared canvas means iterations and feedback can be visible to all. Freepik Spaces: The infinite canvas for creative workflows FreePik for their part sees it as becoming less noticeable even while being more integrated into our lives. Speaking to Irish Tech News, their CEO Joaquin Cuenca said that "wider society will eventually normalize AI, just like computers became commonplace. As AI becomes more integrated into products and services, it will become less noticeable and its impact will be more subtle, focusing on the value of the product itself rather than its AI capabilities." More avenues for AI Slop? The idea that AI is shovelling out slop of low quality and dubious use was not shared by most attendees. Max Ott...

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I dig into why Google Cloud's momentum in AI-centric deals is reshaping the entire cloud landscape.Highlights00:30 — A few major things became evident from Google Cloud's third-quarter results from late last month. One, if you look at the giant deals Google Cloud signed in the first three quarters of 2025, it inked more billion-dollar-plus deals than it did in all of 2023 and 2024 combined. The pace of these huge investments by businesses is accelerating.01:05 — Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai expressed excitement that enterprise AI is now becoming a huge factor of these massive deals. In just three quarters, Google Cloud signed more billion-dollar deals than in the previous eight combined. Seventy percent of all Google Cloud customers are now purchasing the company's AI products and services. Another indicator of momentum is its backlog.02:25 — Pichai also said that Google Cloud now has 13 products with annualized revenue run rates exceeding $1 billion. He emphasized the company's diversification and scaling of its product line, many of which are tied to enterprise AI. Gemini Enterprise has already been adopted by over 700 customers and deployed across more than two million seats.03:36 —Over the last two years, Google Cloud has been the fastest-growing player in the Cloud Wars Top 10. I'll go into more detail in an article later this morning, but it's worth noting that Google Cloud's reign as the number one fastest-growing company is about to end. That's because Palantir, a new entrant into the Top 10, posted an eye-popping 63% revenue growth in Q3.04:15 — Still, if you set aside the outlier of Palantir, Google Cloud remains the fastest-growing among the rest. It's executing well, with lots of momentum. The backlog data underscores that this isn't just about past performance — it's a forward-looking indicator that their pipeline is incredibly strong. So, hats off to Google Cloud for doing a great job. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I call out AWS's slowdown in both innovation and momentum, as the rest of the hyperscalers redefine the future of cloud.Highlights00:15 — Now it's been interesting here as we watch the four hyperscalers recently, Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle. We hear that cliche about a rising tide lifts all boats. And I would say that AWS is definitely the one of the four hyperscalers that is rising less slowly, less quickly, and to not as great a height.01:08 — AWS is the company that created the cloud infrastructure business, and for most of those 19 years, AWS deserved to be called the King of the Cloud. But a few years ago, Microsoft's cloud, Azure, became, you know, quite prominent. Google Cloud started to innovate wildly. Oracle has been on fire. AWS lost the role, the opportunity, the swagger of being the leader02:16 — It is now the follower. AWS is not the innovator, either in technology or in go-to-market ways, and these financial results prove that they certainly had a very nice Q3. You can't just bring metrics or comparative performance from other industries and apply it to the Cloud Wars. Those numbers that AWS put up were just not anywhere close to as good as those of its competitors.03:36 — So, in either of those cases, AWS is being dramatically outgrown by the other three hyperscalers. There's just no way around it, and in a detailed article that I'll have on cloudwars.com later today, I lay that out both for the quarterly numbers and the latest RPO and backlog figures.04:23 — And in the AI Revolution, these four companies are in large part helping the entire global economy to establish, "How am I going to move forward? What am I going to need to do?" The other three have all stolen the jump on AWS and become much more dynamic, and that's revealed in the customer demand, expressed as quarterly revenue and also going forward as RPO or backlog.05:28 — What we're seeing here is the fact that this, this notion of innovation, of, you know, relentless performance, relentless excellence, relentless progress. It can be brutal at times. And while AWS is a big, successful company, is going to be around for a long time, the numbers are showing it is no longer anywhere close to the leader.

In today's Cloud Wars Live, Mahesh Thiagarajan, EVP, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, speaks with Bob Evans about Oracle's bold strategy to lead in the AI infrastructure race. He details how Oracle is scaling zeta-level compute, launching a 1.5 gigawatt GPU campus, and engineering full-stack solutions that combine bare-metal hardware, custom networking, and advanced software. With OCI's rapid innovation and massive scale, Oracle is positioning itself as a serious challenger to cloud incumbents like AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud.Scaling AI at OracleThe Big Themes:Enterprise Data Continuity and Cloud Strategy: Enterprises rely on mission-critical data, such as databases, and migrating that data to the cloud remains a major strategic priority. The challenge isn't simply moving data: It's building a cloud platform that delivers real value to customers. As Thiagarajan and his team began developing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to support these needs, they focused on core fundamentals: performance, cost efficiency, and security. This illustrates that for today's cloud providers, success isn't just about innovative features, but about engineering deep, resilient infrastructure.Customer‑First Execution: Thiagarajan repeatedly states there is no perfect playbook. The approach: wake up every day, talk to partners, figure out what customers need and execute. This mindset emphasises responsiveness and pragmatism. Given the rapid pace of change in cloud and AI, large providers cannot wait for general frameworks to emerge. They must iterate, partner, and build in real time.“Late” As An Advantage: Thiagarajan observes that arriving in cloud later gave Oracle the ability to learn from first movers' mistakes and benefit from newer hardware generations without legacy baggage. While first movers often carry large legacy systems, later entrants can design for new architectures (bare‑metal, custom networking) from the ground up. That doesn't guarantee success but presents an advantage if leveraged.The Big Quote: “You earn trust with [partners] by getting their products out to market fast into the hands of the customers, because that really translates to them, the end customer, being happy."More from Mahesh Thiagarajan and Oracle:Connect with Mahesh Thiagarajan on LinkedIn or take a look at his Oracle blog posts.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I take a look at how Oracle and Google Cloud are surging past Microsoft and AWS in RPO and backlog growthHighlights00:13 — There's no question that 10, 12, 15 years ago, it was AWS and Microsoft that set the rules for cloud infrastructure. Google Cloud and Oracle, both of them, while much smaller in revenue than AWS and Microsoft, are growing much faster. My conclusion here is that Oracle and Google Cloud are roaring past Microsoft and AWS in RPO and backlog growth. Let me show you what I mean.01:14 — Oracle, Google Cloud, Microsoft, AWS. I've got two sets of growth rates here. This first one looks sequentially — Q3 RPO growth versus total Q2 revenue — and what the growth rate is. Oracle: $455 billion RPO. It grew sequentially from their last quarter to this quarter — its RPO went up 43%. Google Cloud: $155 billion. From last quarter's number to this quarter, its RPO growth rate was up 46%.02:17 — Microsoft: $392 billion, huge number, but its RPO grew just 6.5%. Looks weak compared to the others, but then there's AWS — $200 billion RPO for the quarter ended September 30. That's an RPO growth of only 2.5%. So, we have these two high-flyers in the hyper-growth category, mid-40s, and the two big traditional cloud infrastructure vendors growing in single digits.03:15 — RPO growth rates on an annual basis, year over year. Oracle's up 359%. Google Cloud: huge jump here, 82% growth in their backlog year over year. Microsoft: very nice, 51% year over year. But if you look at the most recent number, it's 6.5%. AWS — I can't give you an annual growth number because a year ago AWS was not releasing its backlog numbers. In Q2, it was $195 billion.04:03 — So, they went up $5 billion to $200 billion, and that's why they had that small growth number. Now we all know those lines about “there are three kinds of lies — lies, damned lies, and statistics.” So, somebody might think I'm spinning a tale and fibbing or lying about these numbers, but the numbers themselves do not lie, and what they're clearly showing is that Google Cloud and Oracle are doing new sorts of things.04:46 — They're appealing to the new needs, demands, and requirements customers have, and it's being reflected in the growth — not only their higher revenue growth rates, which reflect the past, but also their RPO or backlog growth rates, which reflect and look into the future.

La inteligencia artificial y las grandes compañías tecnológicas continúan siendo el motor principal detrás del crecimiento de Wall Street. Las colaboraciones estratégicas entre los gigantes del sector de la IA están impulsando los índices bursátiles y generando rentabilidades destacadas. La alianza más reciente que ha captado la atención del mercado es la de OpenAI y Amazon, ya que la empresa dirigida por Sam Altman empezará a utilizar la infraestructura de Amazon Web Services (AWS). Este anuncio provocó que las acciones de Amazon subieran un 4% en la última jornada y acumulen un incremento del 14% en solo dos días, alcanzando así niveles récord. Al mismo tiempo, se intensifican los rumores sobre una posible salida a Bolsa de OpenAI, impulsada por la necesidad de financiación derivada de sus costosos acuerdos. La operación entre ambas compañías, valorada en 38.000 millones de dólares, se desarrollará en dos etapas. En la primera, OpenAI aprovechará la infraestructura actual de AWS, mientras que en la segunda fase, Amazon construirá instalaciones adicionales específicamente diseñadas para la empresa de Altman. Además, OpenAI podrá acceder a los potentes procesadores gráficos de Nvidia, reforzando su capacidad de cómputo y consolidando la confianza en la nube de Amazon, que el pasado viernes experimentó un notable repunte bursátil. Este movimiento permite a Amazon reducir la brecha con sus competidores directos, Microsoft Azure y Google Cloud, en la batalla por el liderazgo del sector. Sin embargo, el volumen de inversión y los altos niveles de deuda en las tecnológicas han despertado temores sobre una posible burbuja financiera. Solo Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Meta y Alphabet acumulan alrededor de 457.000 millones de dólares en deuda, mientras que OpenAI mantiene compromisos valorados en 1,4 billones. A pesar de las advertencias, varios analistas sostienen que el negocio de estas empresas sigue mostrando una gran fortaleza. Este nuevo acuerdo, además, marca una creciente distancia entre OpenAI y Microsoft. Aunque la firma de Redmond anunció recientemente una inversión adicional de 250.000 millones en Azure, su exclusividad con OpenAI terminó en enero, permitiendo a la desarrolladora de ChatGPT negociar libremente con otros proveedores de nube.

Juan Loaiza is the EVP of Database Technologies at Oracle. In today's special episode of Cloud Wars Live, Loaiza joins Bob Evans to discuss how AI is transforming the way businesses interact with data. He spotlights Oracle's new AI-native database, the importance of trust and security in enterprise AI, and why business users now play a bigger role in data strategy. It's a revealing look at how Oracle is shaping the future of intelligent data systems.The AI Data RevolutionThe Big Themes:Trust, Governance, and Privacy Must Be Built Into the AI‑Data Stack: One of the strongest points made by Loaiza is about the risk of AI in enterprises: hallucinations, mis‑use of data, privacy violations, regulatory consequences. When mission‑critical systems (hospitals, banks, telecoms) are involved, errors are unacceptable and can be illegal. Oracle's approach is to embed privacy and access controls down into the database engine: the system knows who the end user is, what they can see, and ensures AI cannot leak unauthorized data.Multi‑Cloud, On‑Premises, Hybrid — Customers Want Flexibility: Loaiza describes how Oracle is enabling customers to run their database and AI workloads wherever they need: on‑premises, in public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), or via “cloud at your data center” options like Exadata Cloud@Customer. This speaks to regulatory, latency, data sovereignty and operational constraints. For enterprises, the takeaway is that deployment flexibility is essential. A one‑size‑fits‑all cloud model may not meet strategic needs.Business Users and Developers Now Have Voices in Database Strategy: Historically, databases were the domain of DBAs, IT operations, and infrastructure teams. Now business users and developers also have meaningful voices because of AI democratizing access. This shift means organizational structures, roles and processes must change. Data governance, training, tool‑selection and deployment pipelines need to reflect that the “consumer” of the database is broader.The Big Quote: “[AI] can translate English to this language of computers, the language of data, which is SQL. So, what that means is you don't have to learn this crazy language anymore. So pretty much anyone, business people, lay people, can now talk using their normal natural language to the database, and the database will understand what they're saying and give them answers, build applications to all these and this is something I honestly never thought I'd see in my entire life, and it's here today."More from Juan Loaiza and Oracle:Follow Juan on LinkedIn or learn more about Oracle's approach to security.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at the shift in enterprise preference from Microsoft to Google Cloud.Highlights00:15 — The three original hyperscalers all released numbers for Q3 last year. Each should be proud, but Google Cloud stood out in a significant way. Its Q3 revenue is up 34% to $15.2 billion. Its Q2 growth had been 32%, so, accelerating here. Mid-year, it said its CapEx would be $75 billion for all of 2025. A few months ago, it said, “Now we're going to have to make it $85 billion..."01:38 — Now it's saying it's going to be somewhere between $91 and $93 billion for this year. If you take the three hyperscalers in their Q3 performance here: $49.1 billion for Microsoft, up 26%, , terrific results. AWS, $33 billion; that was up 20%, so accelerating from Q2's 17.5% — very nice. And then Google Cloud, $15.2 billion, as I mentioned, up 34%.02:39 — AWS and Microsoft are much larger than Google Cloud. Regarding new business Microsoft added $2.4 billion, AWS $2.1 billion, and Google Cloud $1.6 billion. So how does that play out? Well, of the $6.1 billion in incremental new revenue, Q3 over Q2, Microsoft got 39.3%, AWS, 34.4%, and Google Cloud,26.2%. So, for Google Cloud, 15.6% overall, but 26.2% of the new business.03:47 — My point here is that some previous long-range contracts that these companies have been winning have positioned AWS and Microsoft as much larger than Google Cloud; they've earned that. But looking forward here, in the early days of the AI Revolution, Google Cloud is gaining a disproportionate share of new business based on its size relative to AWS and Microsoft.04:44 — But I think the interesting thing here is to say, of the new business and looking forward, who's winning this stuff — sort of right here, right now — forgetting the size disparities that have been up in the past. And Google Cloud, on that front, is looking very good. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

The Interview That Sparked This EssayJoe Corkery and I worked together at Google years ago, and he has since gone on to build a venture-backed company tackling a real and systemic problem in healthcare communication. This essay is my attempt to synthesize that conversation. It is written for early and mid career PMs in Silicon Valley who want to get sharper at product judgment, market discovery, customer validation, and knowing the difference between encouragement and signal. If you feel like you have ever shipped something, presented it to customers, and then heard polite nodding instead of movement and urgency, this is for you.Joe's Unusual Career ArcJoe's background is not typical for a founder. He is a software engineer. And a physician. And someone who has led business development in the pharmaceutical industry. That multidisciplinary profile allowed him to see something that many insiders miss: healthcare is full of problems that everyone acknowledges, yet very few organizations are structurally capable of solving.When Joe joined Google Cloud in 2014, he helped start the healthcare and life sciences product org. Yet the timing was difficult. As he put it:“The world wasn't ready or Google wasn't ready to do healthcare.” So instead of building healthcare products right away, he spent two years working on security, compliance, and privacy. That detour will matter later, because it set the foundation for everything he is now doing at Jaide.Years later, he left Google to build a healthcare company focused initially on guided healthcare search, particularly for women's health. The idea resonated emotionally. Every customer interview validated the need. Investors said it was important. Healthcare organizations nodded enthusiastically.And yet, there was no traction.This created a familiar and emotionally challenging founder dilemma:* When everyone is encouraging you* But no one will pay you or adopt early* How do you know if you are early, unlucky, or wrong?This is the question at the heart of product strategy.False Positives: Why Encouragement Is Not FeedbackIf you have worked as a PM or founder for more than a few weeks, you have encountered positive feedback that turned out to be meaningless. People love your idea. Executives praise your clarity. Customers tell you they would definitely use it. Friends offer supportive high-fives.But then nothing moves.As Joe put it:“Everyone wanted to be supportive. But that makes it hard to know whether you're actually on the right path.” This is not because people are dishonest. It is because people are kind, polite, and socially conditioned to encourage enthusiasm. In Silicon Valley especially, we celebrate ambition. We praise risk-taking. We cheer for the founder-in-the-garage mythology. If someone tells you that your idea is flawed, they fear they are crushing your passion.So even when we explicitly ask for brutal honesty, people soften their answers.This is the false positive trap.And if you misread encouragement as traction, you can waste months or even years.The Small Framing Change That Changes EverythingJoe eventually realized that the problem was not the idea itself. The problem was how he was asking for feedback.When you present your idea as the idea, people naturally react supportively:* “That's really interesting.”* “I could see that being useful.”* “This is definitely needed.”But when you instead present two competing ideas and ask someone to help you choose, you change the psychology of the conversation entirely.Joe explained it this way:“When we said, ‘We are building this. What do you think?' people wanted to be encouraging. But when we asked, ‘We are choosing between these two products. Which one should we build?' it gave them permission to actually critique.” This shift is subtle, but powerful. Suddenly:* People contrast.* Their reasoning surfaces.* Their hesitation becomes visible.* Their priorities emerge with clarity.By asking someone to choose between two ideas, you activate their decision-making brain instead of their supportive brain.It is no different from usability testing. If you show someone a screen and ask what they think, they are polite. If you give them a task and ask them to complete it, their actual friction appears immediately.In product discovery, friction is truth.How This Applies to PMs, Not Just FoundersYou may be thinking: this is interesting for entrepreneurs, but I work inside a company. I have stakeholders, OKRs, a roadmap, and a backlog that already feels too full.This technique is actually more relevant for PMs inside companies than for founders.Inside organizations, political encouragement is even more pervasive:* Leaders say they want innovation, but are risk averse.* Cross-functional partners smile in meetings, but quietly maintain objections.* Engineers nod when you present the roadmap, but may not believe in it.* Customers say they like your idea, but do not prioritize adoption.One of the most powerful tools you can use as a PM is explicitly framing your product decisions as explicit choices, rather than proposals seeking validation. For example:Instead of saying:“We are planning to build a new onboarding flow. Here is the design. Thoughts?”Say:“We are deciding between optimizing retention or acquisition next quarter. If we choose retention, the main lever is onboarding friction. Here are two possible approaches. Which outcome matters more to the business right now?”In the second framing:* The business goal is visible.* The tradeoff is unavoidable.* The decision owner is clear.* The conversation becomes real.This is how PMs build credibility and influence: not through slides or persuasion, but through framing decisions clearly.Jaide's Pivot: From Health Search to AI TranslationThe result of Joe's reframed feedback approach was unambiguous.Across dozens of conversations with healthcare executives and hospital leaders, one pattern emerged consistently:Translation was the urgent, budget-backed, economically meaningful problem.As Joe put it, after talking to more than 40 healthcare decision-makers:“Every single person told us to build the translation product. Not mostly. Not many. Every single one.” This kind of clarity is rare in product strategy. When you get it, you do not ignore it. You move.Jaide Health shifted its core focus to solving a very real, very measurable, and very painful problem in healthcare: the language gap affecting millions of patients.More than 25 million patients in the United States do not speak English well enough to communicate with clinicians. This leads to measurable harm:* Longer hospital stays* Increased readmission rates* Higher medical error rates* Lower comprehension of discharge instructionsThe status quo for translation relies on human interpreters who are expensive, limited, slow to schedule, and often unavailable after hours or in rare languages. Many clinicians, due to lack of resources, simply use Google Translate privately on their phones. They know this is not secure or compliant, but they feel like they have no better option.So Jaide built a platform that integrates compliance, healthcare-specific terminology, workflow embedding, custom glossaries, discharge summaries, and real-time accessibility.This is not simply “healthcare plus GPT”. It is targeted, workflow-integrated, risk-aware operational excellence.Product managers should study this pattern closely.The winning strategy was not inventing a new problem. It was solving a painful problem that everyone already agreed mattered.The Core PM Lesson: Focus on Problems With Urgent Budgets Behind ThemA question I often ask PMs I coach:Who loses sleep if this problem is not solved?If the answer is:* “Not sure”* “Eventually the business will feel it”* “It would improve the experience”* “It could move a KPI if adoption increases”Then you do not have a real problem yet.Real product opportunities have:* A user who is blocked from achieving something meaningful* A measurable cost or consequence of inaction* An internal champion with authority to push change* An adjacent workflow that your product can attach to immediately* A budget owner who is willing to pay now, not laterHealthcare translation checks every box. That is why Joe now has institutional adoption and a business with meaningful traction behind it.Why PMs Struggle With This in PracticeIf the lesson seems obvious, why do so many PMs fall into the encouragement trap?The reason is emotional more than analytical.It is uncomfortable to confront the possibility that your idea, feature, roadmap, strategy, or deck is not compelling enough yet. It is easier to seek validation than truth.In my first startup, we kept our product in closed beta for months longer than we should have. We told ourselves we were refining the UX, improving onboarding, solidifying architecture. The real reason, which I only admitted years later, was that I was afraid the product was not good enough. I delayed reality to protect my ego.In product work, speed of invalidation is as important as speed of iteration.If something is not working, you need to know as quickly as possible. The faster you learn, the more shots you get. The best PMs do not fall in love with their solutions. They fall in love with the moments of clarity that allow them to change direction quickly.Actionable Advice for Early and Mid Career PMsBelow are specific behaviors and habits you can put into practice immediately.1. Always test product concepts as choices, not presentationsInstead of asking:“What do you think of this idea?”Ask:“We are deciding between these two approaches. Which one is more important for you right now and why?”This forces prioritization, not politeness.2. Never ship a feature without observing real usage inside the workflowA feature that exists but is not used does not exist.Sit next to users. Watch screen behavior. Listen to their muttering. Ask where they hesitate. And most importantly, observe what they do after they close your product.That is where the real friction lives.3. Always ask: What is the cost of not solving this?If there is no real cost of inaction, the feature will not drive adoption.Impact must be felt, not imagined.4. Look for users with strong emotional urgency, not polite agreementWhen someone says:“This would be helpful.”That is death.When someone says:“I need this and I need it now.”That is life.Find urgency. Design around urgency. Ignore politeness.5. Know the business model of your customer better than they doThis is where many PMs plateau.If you want to be taken seriously by executives, you must understand:* How your customer makes money* What costs they must manage* Which levers influence financial outcomesWhen PMs learn to speak in revenue, cost, and risk instead of features, priorities, and backlog, their influence changes instantly.The Broader Strategic Question: What Happens When Foundational Models Improve?During our conversation, I asked Joe whether the rapid improvement of GPT-like translation will eventually make specialized healthcare translation unnecessary.His answer was pragmatic:“Our goal is to ride the wave. The best technology alone does not win. The integrated solution that solves the real problem wins.” This is another crucial product lesson:* Foundational models are table stakes.* Differentiation comes from workflow integration, specialization, compliance, and trust.* Adoption is driven by reducing operational friction.In other words:In AI-first product strategy, the model is the engine. The workflow is the vehicle. The customer problem is the road.The Future of Product Work: Judgment Over OutputThe world is changing. Tools are accelerating. Capabilities are compounding. But the core skill of product leadership remains the same:Can you tell the difference between signal and noise, urgency and politeness, truth and encouragement?That is judgment.Product management will increasingly become less about writing PRDs or pushing execution and more about identifying the real problem worth solving, framing tradeoffs clearly, and navigating ambiguity with confidence and clarity.The PMs who will thrive in the coming decade are those who learn how to ask better questions.ClosingThis conversation with Joe reminded me that most of the time, product failure is not the result of a bad idea. It is the result of insufficient clarity. The clarity does not come from thinking harder. It comes from testing real choices, with real users, in real workflows, and asking questions that force truth rather than encouragement.If this resonates and you want help sharpening your product judgment, improving your influence with executives, developing clarity in your roadmap, or navigating career transitions, I work 1:1 with a small number of PMs, founders, and product executives.You can learn more at tomleungcoaching.com.OK.

APROVEITE A BLACK FRIDAY EMPIRICUS: https://emprc.us/HGGywv As gigantes de tecnologia voltaram a dominar o noticiário financeiro. Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Meta, Amazon e Apple divulgaram resultados trimestrais muito acima das expectativas, impulsionadas pelo boom da inteligência artificial (IA). O avanço do Google Cloud, Azure, AWS e da publicidade digital reforça que o ciclo da IA continua gerando crescimento acelerado, lucros recordes, novos investimentos em infraestrutura e oportunidades bilionárias para investidores em ações de tecnologia.Enquanto isso, o Federal Reserve (Fed) cortou os juros nos EUA em 25 pontos-base, mas surpreendeu ao afirmar que novos cortes não estão garantidos. A decisão veio em meio à falta de dados oficiais de inflação e emprego, às divisões internas no comitê e ao anúncio do fim do aperto quantitativo em dezembro. Jerome Powell comparou a situação a “dirigir na neblina”, alertando para um cenário de cautela econômica, mercado volátil e incerteza nos próximos meses.No quadro Compra ou Vende, nossos analistas discutem:- Nvidia (US$ 5 trilhões em valor de mercado) e as expectativas para seus resultados impulsionados pela IA;- Vale, com destaque para o balanço do 3º trimestre e o impacto das commodities globais;- ETF ARGT, influenciado pela vitória de Javier Milei na Argentina e os reflexos para o mercado latino-americano.Com Larissa Quaresma, Matheus Spiess e Enzo Pacheco, analistas da Empiricus Research, debatendo os principais temas de macroeconomia, política e investimentos da semana.Aproveite a Black Friday da Empiricus: acesso a todas as carteiras da casa pelo preço de uma única premium — uma chance única de diversificar seus investimentos com inteligência: https://emprc.us/HGGywv

Stocks are poised for a choppy session as investors weigh mixed signals on trade and interest rates. Kevin Green breaks down the overnight reaction to overseas meetings, the Fed and Mag 7 earnings. The U.S. and China reached a partial trade truce following Pres. Trump and Pres. Xi's meeting, with both sides making concessions, but no major breakthroughs announced. Meanwhile, the latest FOMC meeting and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's commentary showed a divided outlook, fueling uncertainty about a December rate cut. In earnings news, Alphabet (GOOGL) reported a strong quarter, driven by its Google Cloud and YouTube businesses, while Meta Platforms (META) shares fell due to concerns over its guidance and spending plans.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Alphabet (GOOGL) reports earnings after Wednesday's closing bell, and LikeFolio's Landon Swan expects the company to show promising numbers when it comes to its software suite. He calls Amazon's (AMZN) AWS "by and far" the biggest cloud player, though his data shows Google Cloud interest increasing where AWS and Microsoft (MSFT) Azure's fell. Streaming is another strength Landon sees in YouTube, though he waves a yellow flag when it comes to Google search.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Sheraz Mian turns to the slate of Mag 7 earnings on the docket this week, noting four of the five serving as leaders in the A.I. race. The one he doesn't see leading: Apple (AAPL). He believes the company has made notable traction recently but still faces headwinds in A.I. spending and product offerings. He sees Alphabet (GOOGL) gaining more bullish optimism as Google Cloud grows and Wall Street dismisses fears of A.I. eating into search revenue. Sheraz also makes the case that Amazon (AMZN) doesn't care too much on what the Street thinks, something he believes will make its earnings interesting.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

TeraWulf (WULF) tapped highs it hasn't seen since early 2022 after Alphabet (GOOGL) tapped the company for a joint data center venture for Google Cloud. As George Tsilis notes, it's the latest Bitcoin mining company to get tapped for data center buildout and offers TeraWulf a huge boost for its balance sheet. He explains why smaller companies are being tapped by tech giants like Alphabet and how this deal compares to rising small and mid-cap players like CoreWeave (CRWV).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
