Google<\/a> has reportedly seen a surge in sales of its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) models.<\/p>\n

This uptick\u00a0indicates an improvement<\/a>\u00a0in the quality of those models, according to Seeking Alpha, which itself cited a paywalled report by The Information Tuesday (Jan. 20).<\/p>\n

This could add more revenue from Google Cloud\u2019s core business of server sales, as the money customers shell out for AI often leads to more spending on other Google products, the report added, citing a source with knowledge of Google\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n

The report notes that Google sells access to its\u00a0AI models<\/a>\u00a0via Google Cloud via an application programming interface (API). Requests sent to the Gemini API more than doubled between March and August of last year, the report added, citing internal data from Google.<\/p>\n

The Information adds that a major challenge still facing Google is convincing business customers to pay for the complex software it has created to run on top of its AI models. Sources said this software gives Google a way to boost the profit margins on its artificial intelligence business.<\/p>\n

In other Google AI news, PYMNTS wrote last week about the company\u2019s\u00a0new effort<\/a>\u00a0to embed\u00a0Walmart<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sam\u2019s Club\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0massive inventory directly into Gemini using Google\u2019s\u00a0Universal Commerce Protocol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with investors, Walmart Executive Vice President of AI Acceleration, Product and Design\u00a0Dan Danker<\/a>\u00a0said he \u201cvery clearly sees this as a growth opportunity,\u201d noting that the agentic-focused partnership will continue to allow Walmart to \u201creach the customer where they are as commerce shifts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many shopping occasions that don\u2019t begin as a shopping occasion, and this allows us to serve those moments,\u201d Danker said.<\/p>\n

The report notes that for decades,\u00a0eCommerce<\/a>\u00a0adhered to a familiar architecture: static search bars direct customers to lists of products, and the shopper then navigates brand websites and marketplaces to carry out a purchase. But this model is increasingly at odds with modern digital behavior, where users expect fluid, intuitive interfaces that don\u2019t react to queries, but rather anticipate needs. The partnership between Walmart and Google aims to\u00a0invert this paradigm<\/a>, PYMNTS wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of typing keywords into a website, consumers will engage Gemini with natural language prompts, for example, \u2018help me build a fall camping kit under $300,\u2019 or, \u2018I just spilled wine on my couch, what will get it out?\u2019 Gemini will then tap into Walmart\u2019s product catalog, pricing, and availability in real time, offering personalized recommendations and, crucially, the option to purchase without leaving the chat interface,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google has reportedly seen a surge in sales of its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) models.
