Alphabet Hits $4 Trillion After Apple Deal
Alphabet, the company that owns Google, has become very valuable, reaching a market cap of $4 trillion.
This happened after they made a deal with Apple to help power Siri, Apple's AI assistant.
Google has been growing very fast because of its work in artificial intelligence (AI), especially with its AI model called Gemini.
Google's stock price has gone up a lot, from $146 to $333 in just a few months.
Other big tech companies like Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon are not growing as fast as Google.
Apple is focusing more on its hardware business rather than AI research.
Google is also investing a lot in India, building data centers and partnering with local startups.
This shows that India is an important market for Google's AI plans.
The deal with Apple is a big win for Google, but it's a setback for OpenAI, which previously had a partnership with Apple.
OpenAI is now looking for other ways to compete in the AI market.
Alphabet became the fourth company to hit a $4 trillion market cap after a deal with Apple to power Siri.
Google's market cap surged from $1.8 trillion in April last year to $4 trillion, driven by AI advancements.
Google's AI model Gemini has 650 million users, closing the gap with OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Google's share price rose from $146 to $333 between April and Monday.
Google is expanding in India with a $15 billion data center investment and partnerships with local startups.
