Not sure how Google is winning AI, at least from the sophisticated consumer's perspective. Their AI overviews are often comically wrong. Sure, they may have Good APIs for their AI, and good technical quality for their AIs, but for the general user, their most common AI presentation is woefully bad.

I don't especially think they are, but if I was trying to argue it, I'd note that Gemini is a very, very capable model, and Google are very well-placed to sell inference to existing customers in a way I'm less sure that OpenAI and Anthropic are.
I assume the high volume of search traffic forces Google to use a low quality model for AI overviews. Frontier Google models (e.g. Gemini 2.5 pro) are on-par, if not 'better', than leading models from other companies.
