we
do
have
some
breaking
news
on
google
and
for
that
we're
going
to
go

hey
good
morning
carl
so
google
just
announcing
its
latest
AI
model
called
gemini
three
flash
quote
frontier
intelligence
built
for
speed
at
a
fraction
of
the
cost
now
it
prioritizes
speed
and
margins
over
model
prestige
and
this
is
really
another
part
of
the
AI
race
that
is
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
00:21.150
built
for
real
use
this
is
especially
important
for
google
where
AI
it's
not
just
a
stand
alone
product
but
it's
AI
has
to
run
inside
of
search
ads
gmail
docs
etcetera
and
in
the
cloud
at
massive
scale
those
businesses
speed
and
cost
that
matters
more
than
maximum
deployment
now
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
00:40.150
we
are
seeing
the
same
trade
off
globally
particularly
in
china
where
good
enough
models
enable
broader
access
and
real
world
adoption
at
scale
google
can
run
AI
at
both
ends
of
the
market
because
models
and
because
it
has
the
best
models
and
the
most
practical
one
it
owns
the
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
00:57.590
pipeline
that's
how
it's
able
to
do
both
of
these
now
on
the
other
side
of
alphabet
meanwhile
there's
waymo
the
company
is
in
talks
to
raise
more
than
fifteen
billion
dollars
at
a
valuation
as
high
as
a
hundred
and
ten
billion
dollars
more
than
double
its
last
round
its
last
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
01:10.950
valuation
too
according
to
a
source
familiar
with
the
discussions
now
waymo
continues
to
extend
its
lead
in
autonomous
driving
and
our
own
general
elias
has
reported
that
sundar
pichai
has
said
that
waymo
will
meaningfully
contribute
to
alphabet
's
financials
as
soon
as
twenty
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
01:25.790
twenty
seven
now
alphabet
is
leading
the
round
but
like
the
last
one
outside
investors
they
will
get
a
chance
to
buy
in
and
that
gives
google
more
our
financial
flexibility
as
way
more
expands
without
carrying
you
know
the
full
cost
on
its
own
balance
sheet
and
also
keeps
the
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
01:43.390
option
open
for
a
future
spin
off
guys
? (Anchor)
01:47.550
when
you
talk
to
alphabet
analysts
is
it
factored
in
into
the
company
's
results
or
or
outlook
or
valuation
at
all
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
01:54.830
you
mean
sort
of
the
value
that
waymo
represents
to
be
honest
not
really
i
mean
we
look
at
sort
of
this
comparison
between
tesla
right
and
the
idea
that
so
much
expectation
and
if
you
look
at
the
forward
PE
model
model
multiple
for
a
tesla
so
much
more
is
baked
in
and
it
really
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
02:12.470
does
feel
like
waymo
is
far
less
appreciated
particularly
when
you
consider
that
you
know
it's
delivering
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
rides
a
week
without
any
kind
of
safety
driver
so
you
know
that
gap
between
waymo
and
everyone
else
trying
to
do
robotaxis
is
only
widening
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
02:29.390
and
feels
very
underappreciated
Carl Quintanilla (Anchor)
02:31.150
it's
interesting
you've
told
viewers
before
about
the
number
of
miles
log
didn't
they
they're
light
years
ahead
of
what
tesla
has
been
able
to
do
there's
a
lot
of
scrutiny
about
the
crashes
among
tesla
robotaxis
in
austin
but
teslas
at
four
ninety
that's
an
all
time
high
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
02:45.830
yeah
absolutely
and
it's
that
promise
right
and
you
know
the
tesla
bulls
will
say
that
tesla
is
more
vertically
integrated
right
they
have
the
vehicle
they
have
the
software
they
have
the
ride
sharing
platform
itself
whereas
google
and
waymo
the
alphabet
subsidiary
is
sort
of
Deirdre Bosa (Business News)
03:03.080
tapping
into
different
vendors
and
ultimately
some
of
what
the
tesla
will
say
is
that
that's
harder
to
scale
yes
that
might
be
true
in
the
future
but
right
now
we
are
seeing
sort
of
incredible
scale
from
way
