Google Cloud review

Google has finally bridged the gap between DeepMind's research and enterprise utility with **Vertex AI**. The new **Gemini 3 Pro** model features a 'Deep Think' mode that rivals OpenAI's reasoning capabilities but with a massive advantage: a 2-million token context window. This allows the AI to ingest your entire codebase, documentation, and logs in a single prompt to diagnose complex system failures.

In a direct assault on GitHub Copilot, Google has made **Gemini Code Assist** free for individual developers. It doesn't just autocomplete lines; it uses that massive context window to suggest architectural refactors across hundreds of files. For teams, the integration with **BigQuery** allows you to talk to your data ('Show me revenue retention by cohort') and get SQL queries generated and executed instantly.

For general web hosting, GCP remains a distant third to AWS and Azure. But for AI-native companies, it is the default. The **TPU v7** infrastructure offers a price-performance ratio for model training that NVIDIA's GPU shortage simply cannot match. If you are building LLMs, you are likely building them here.
