what happened
Alphabet will spend $17 billion on its first data center in Wyoming, buying a southeastern site from Crusoe. The campus will be developed together with energy and infrastructure partners, according to TradingView.
The same summary notes that Alphabet's five-year credit-default-swap spread reached a record in recent months, although it stayed below Oracle's peak. Google also released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a model that generates and edits videos up to 15 seconds long, and cut the cost of 720p video generation by 30% to $0.07 per second. Filings show Alphabet held nearly 3 million Qualcomm shares and 1.9 million Neutron Holdings shares as of September 30.
why it matters
For markets, the key question is whether the spending pays off. Higher borrowing costs and delays in monetizing AI investment are cited as the main risks. Ives's free cash flow outlook and criticism from Funke Media Group over fewer clicks to publishers add uncertainty for investors in the company's stock and bonds.
