Last year, District Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court of Columbia (D.C.C.) ruled that Alphabet’s Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly on search.

Now, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is proposing what actions or penalties Alphabet’s Google should face.

Cue testified that the number of searches in Safari, which uses Google Search as the default search engine, declined for the first time ever this past month.

He attributed this decline to AI-powered answer engines like Perplexity AI, which directly provide concise answers to your questions with citations.

Cue’s comments caused Alphabet’s stock to drop by 7.51%, meaning Alphabet’s stock market value plummeted by roughly $140 billion.

For over two decades, we’ve turned to Google Search, typed in a question, and received a list of blue links. Ranking high on that list of blue links has become a $200 billion money-making machine for Alphabet’s Google.

AI-powered answer engines are attacking this $200 billion money-making machine because they deliver fast, direct, and accurate answers without a list of blue links. In the last two decades, a person’s average attention span has shrunk to less than 8 seconds. Gen Z strongly favors quick access to immediate answers.

It achieved the top score on the WebDev Arena Leaderboard, where advanced AI models are pitted against each other in a series of complex coding competitions.

It also claimed the top spot on LMArena with an ELO Score of 1448. LMArena is a benchmark where humans compare outputs from different multimodal AI models and vote on the best ones. A higher ELO Score means the multimodal AI model consistently generates better outputs.

It also boasts incredible Video-to-Code (VTC) capabilities, achieving 84.8% accuracy on the Video-MME benchmark, which evaluates the ability of multimodal AI models to understand video inputs with multiple modalities like audio, frames, and subtitles.

“Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview {I/O Edition}” was able to create an interactive learning app based on a single YouTube video, marking a massive leap in AI’s real-world coding abilities.

The Elo Score of 1448 matters because it reflects practical usefulness, not just benchmark metrics. It shows that “Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview {I/O Edition}” aligns with human preferences when used to streamline daily tasks.

Fastino raises a $17.5M Seed Round to build Task-Specific Language Models (TLMs).

Sett secures a $15M Series A to deploy AI Agents for building, running, and managing mobile games.

WisdomAI closes a $23M Seed Round to offer a Personal AI Analyst for smarter, faster data-driven decisions.
