Microsoft's focus on AI agents for enterprises may be easier to deliver than Google's consumer focus on a universal AI assistant because Microsoft only has to get the tech right. Google has to change its whole business model too.

I wanted to test Gemini Advanced, ChatGPT, and Copilot Pro head-to-head to see which one helps you get answers faster and more accurately. These are the paid versions, all promising live web access, smarter context, and fewer hallucinations.

Google says the release version of 2.5 Flash is better at reasoning, coding, and multimodality, but it uses 20–30 percent fewer tokens than the preview version. This edition is now live in Vertex AI, AI Studio, and the Gemini app. It will be made the default model in early June.

GitHub has launched a powerful AI coding agent in Copilot that writes code, fixes bugs, and opens pull requests.

Microsoft is the latest tech powerhouse to adopt Google’s A2A protocol, which helps agents communicate and collaborate.

Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, Alphabet investors have been concerned that OpenAI could take market share from Google in search.

Whether you embrace it or not, AI is shaping the future of Google Search. Google is bringing AI Mode to Google Search for every U.S. user, beginning today. Google launched AI Overviews a year ago, which aims to answer your question before showing the traditional list of links.
