Google has shown that they lack product vision and a cohesive strategy. The engineering is top notch though, and the GCP hugging face/AI training integration is for real, if they can build community trust GCP will absolutely eat AWSs lunch as AI apps proliferate.

As for a breakthrough to leadership, Demis' approach of using successively more complex video game environments to develop AGI is absolutely the right path, so I wouldn't be surprised if DeepMind generates a prototype "AGI" first, but I would be VERY surprised if goog successfully capitalized on that.

I tried to use GCP for about 10 years and never found it to be robust enough for my business. I enjoyed it far more than AWS

GKE and Cloud Run are very robust at this point, and I consider them best in class. Cloud SQL is fairly mature but I still prefer AWS RDS.
