Google acknowledged at the Alphabet Q3 earnings call that the Gemini-driven AI Mode has a lower monetization rate than traditional search, and its strong query growth has instead dragged down overall revenue performance. Google said ad experiments show that in AI Mode, the click-through rates of sponsored and organic product listings are now similar, and it is expanding AI Mode ads to 10 markets including Australia, Canada, and India, with plans to enter Brazil, Mexico, and the UK in Q4 2026.

On The Pragmatic Engineer podcast, Titus Winters looked back at Google's 2010 large-scale refactoring of 250M+ lines of C++ code, which was maintained by 10,000 engineers at the time; the team completed it in seven steps—parsing, matching, code generation, coexistence of old and new APIs, sharding, banning old patterns, and deleting old APIs—all well before the LLM era. He also discussed how Google, because Search could not be released monthly, mandated that every change come with tests, and how

Google's third-quarter search revenue grew about 12%, below analysts' expectation of 15%, and some investors believe the problem of AI search queries growing fast but having low monetization capacity is beginning to show. Executive Philipp Schindler said on the earnings call that the strong growth of AI Mode queries affected revenue due to the lower level of monetization. In the same period, cloud business revenue grew 103% year over year to $30.7 billion, and the Gemini app reached 1 billion us
