I am late to the Google's AI party but... My personal impression (might be wrong) is that Google's breadth and depth of AI tools is heavily underrated ranging from Notebook LLM to AI studio. Too good as far as I have tried.
Google of course is the birthplace of attention is all you need.
Moreso they're good at attracting talent. Note the attention is all you need paper came out in 2017 - was so hamstrung under Google, that Noam left Google to start Character AI. There he was reportedly close to a foundational model that would've crushed benchmarks. Until Google literally bought him back for $2.7B [1]
