  @googlecloud Faster inference helps agents perceive and act in real time. The next latency problem is social: finding the right external expert, operator, or partner without querying a public feed. Private intent routing could make that handoff as native as a tool call.

  Google Gemini API support is unbelievable. My production API has now been blocked twice due to “spending caps”, taking my apps offline for hours and creating customer support issues. Support told me to submit a quota increase form, which I did on 31 July. I’ve had no response. However, the API eventually started working again without any explanation. Now it’s happened again. Today I was told to “continue reaching out” to the Quota Increase team. But Google Support has already confirmed there is NO direct way to contact them. So what exactly am I supposed to do? @GoogleCloud @GoogleAI

  Hi @googlecloud @GoogleDevs @Firebase ! My account disabled by mistake (false-positive bot detection) after travel. I'm trapped in a deadlock (SMS code doesn't send/'too many attempts'). Ticket ID: Case 10414028. Can someone please help escalate this? 4 months of work is stuck.

  Hey, #Google, You still haven't corrected the poor English in your #GoogleCloud ad'. How many more times do I have to tell you ?

  @_lopopolo @googlecloud @OpenAI because the hard part was never writing code, it's automating what used to be human intuition about risk and reward

  @Googlecloud's recent post-quantum roadmap highlights just how complex this migration is. The most honest line in it is about hardware. Google says some physical replacement cycles will run past 2029. This is a company that owns its data centres, its silicon, its browser and its certificate authority. And it still cannot promise the hardware layer is done by the end of the decade. That is the whole migration in one sentence. Post-quantum is a systems programme, not an algorithm swap. Three things in the roadmap that make the point: → Key exchange was the easy part. Hybrid ML-KEM is already live on Google's endpoints. Encryption in transit moves fast because it only needs two parties to agree. → Signatures are the hard part. ML-DSA and SLH-DSA are too large for the existing WebPKI to carry, so Google is testing Merkle Tree Certificates with Chrome and Cloudflare. They did not swap the signature. They redesigned how trust is distributed. → Roots of trust are the slow part. Caliptra, TPM 2.0, OpenTitan for quantum-secure boot. Silicon has a shipping cycle. No software update shortens it. Now remove Google's advantages. No single owner of the stack. No control over the clients. Keys and signatures published permanently the day they were made. That is what a decentralised network is migrating from. It is why "we'll upgrade later" is a much bigger claim there than it sounds. The organisations with the most control are being the most careful about the timeline. Worth sitting with.

  $GOOGL reported the most profitable quarter in Alphabet’s history with $112.1B in net income. But investors should not treat that as $112.1B in operating profit. Most of the headline number came from unrealized gains in Alphabet’s equity portfolio, likely driven largely by investments such as $SPCX and Anthropic. The market was right to look beyond that headline. What may be getting overlooked is Google Cloud’s $514B backlog and the fact that demand continues to outpace available capacity. That is why Alphabet is spending so aggressively—and why quarterly free cash flow fell to negative $5.9B. The investment gains created the record profit. The Cloud backlog could create the longer-term opportunity. Those are two very different things. #GOOGL #GoogleCloud #TechStocks

  Guys, I am overjoyed as @googlecloud just waived the $101.40 billing charge on my API usage from last month! After making my initial post, Google Cloud reached out to my DMs and asked for details. I explained that I was using the Vertex AI @GeminiApp API in @antigravity, believing the usage was well within my free promotional credits. However, I unexpectedly received a billing invoice of around $101.40, which led to our billing account being suspended and our backend going down because there were no funds in my bank account to cover it. I was guided by a helpful customer support agent who provided a form, and after filling it out, my case was forwarded to a dedicated billing specialist named Carms. After a series of emails over two days, the ever-friendly specialist informed me that Google approved a waiver for the entire charge out of support for our startup, while their engineering team continues to investigate what caused the token spikes in the first place. Shortly after, I received an official reinstatement email from Google, and our backend and production services were immediately restored. I honestly never expected such care, empathy, and leniency from a global tech giant, and Carms' final message genuinely touched me. Thank you, Google, for everything!

  The problem with a home lab and @Azure and @googlecloud access is that I sometimes forget where I've done a particular piece of work. All scripts, etc come back to my laptop & @OneDrive but I was using PS2EXE the other day but cannot remember where but I want to re-use the command line as I'm lazy (had parameters for the version resources)

  We're a small business using Gemini API through @GoogleCloud & received an unexpected charge we haven't been able to verify. Billing support wasn't able to investigate further & we haven't found a way to reach tech support. Help! #GoogleCloudSupport #SmallBusiness @ThomasOrTK

  @googlecloud I know you're just a bot, but maybe the AI pipeline will understand this. This is going to backfire for your security, because now I'm going to create static json credentials that never expire to prevent this daily annoyance you've forced on me.

  @googlecloud @mirendil @nvidia Recurring unexplained charges (~$83, repeating) on my Google Cloud Billing account despite no active projects showing in Console. Already paid multiple times, keeps reappearing. No response from support for days. Billing ID: 01B3C0-1899D2-F0DA8D.

  $GOOGL’s Q2 results produced the most profitable quarter in Alphabet’s history: $112.1B in net income—the company’s first quarter above $100B. But that headline needs context. Most of it came from unrealized gains in Alphabet’s equity portfolio, likely driven largely by its stakes in $SPCX and Anthropic. At the same time, $44.9B in CapEx pushed quarterly free cash flow to negative $5.9B. That is what the market focused on. The number I keep coming back to is Google Cloud’s $514B backlog—nearly 5x what it was a year ago. Demand is not the problem. Capacity is. Google still does not have enough compute and data-center capacity to serve that demand, so I believe management is right to keep investing aggressively. The buildout is pressuring free cash flow today. But if it unlocks even a meaningful portion of that backlog, investors may eventually view this spending very differently. The real question is not whether demand exists. It is how quickly $GOOGL can build enough capacity to capture it. #GOOGL #GoogleCloud #AI
