In Huatai Securities’ most recent research report, it is highlighted that Google is forging a fully self-reliant closed-loop AI ecosystem. This ecosystem spans from chips (TPU v7p) and models (Gemini 3.0) to applications (Search + Waymo). This approach starkly contrasts with OpenAI’s model, which depends on external computing resources (NVIDIA) and cloud infrastructure (Microsoft). Google’s closed-loop system has already started yielding concrete financial benefits: the deployment of TPUs has notably cut inference costs, Google’s search market share has rebounded to over 90%, and the steady cash flow from advertising is providing robust financial backing for its high-intensity capital investments.
