NEWS UPDATES
Perplexity Pushes Browser Power Play
Perplexity is pitching its Comet AI browser as a challenger and even floated an unsolicited bid for Chrome. The goal is distribution: own the default surface where answers, shopping, and ads happen. Pilots and partnerships will test whether an AI-first browser can win daily use. Expect rapid iteration on built-in “answer” results and extensions.
Plan for AI browsers in your funnel. Add structured data and clear pricing to product pages so answer boxes pull the right facts. Test paid and organic placement inside these “answer” surfaces. Update attribution to track traffic that never hits traditional search.
Lambda Targets New Funding at >$4B
GPU cloud provider Lambda is exploring a fresh raise at a valuation north of $4B. The company sits at the center of model training and inference demand. New capital would support more capacity and enterprise features. Timelines and round size are still in motion.
Secure compute before year-end budgets close. Price out multi-year reservations with burst options, not just on-demand. Keep a second supplier on paper for swap-outs. Tie SLAs to delivery and repair times, not just uptime.
Elon Musk Says Google Has the Edge in AI
Elon Musk said Google has the best shot at leading AI. He pointed to talent depth, compute scale, and data reach. The comment lands as vendors race to lock in enterprise budgets. Expect louder claims and faster product pushes.
Pressure-test your vendor mix. Don’t anchor on one provider’s story; run bake-offs on cost, guardrails, and uptime. Put exit clauses in every new AI contract. Share a quarterly scorecard with finance so spend follows performance.
