TechCrunch and other industry analysts noted a significant trend in reports on September 18, 2025: AI startups are increasingly choosing Google Cloud as their primary infrastructure platform, which is becoming a key growth driver for Googles cloud division. Unlike its competitors, Google offers a unique combination of specialized hardware (Tensor Processing Units - TPUs), which are highly optimized for training and inferencing large models, and the comprehensive Vertex AI software platform. This platform significantly simplifies the entire ML development lifecycle, from data preparation to deployment. For small startup teams, such an integrated environment is proving to be more attractive than competitors solutions. By winning the "race for startups," which are the future tech giants, Google Cloud is securing a long-term strategic advantage in the highly competitive cloud market.
