While Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai praised DeepSeek in the company’s latest earnings call, he says Google Gemini has models that are just as efficient.
“First of all, you know, I think it’s a tremendous team. I think they’ve done very, very good work,” Pichai said about DeepSeek.
But he then added that Gemini’s flash models are “some of the most efficient models out there, including comparing to DeepSeek’s V3 and R1.”
Pichai argued that the rise of cheaper AI globally would only increase its adoption and that Google was well set up to benefit thanks to its billions of users.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made similar comments in Meta’s earnings call last week.
