ALPHABET briefly hit $4 trillion in market valuation on Monday, as the Google parent’s sharpened artificial intelligence (AI) focus allayed doubts about its strategy and thrust it back to the forefront of the high-stakes race.

In the latest sign that its efforts were paying off, Alphabet said the next-generation of Apple’s AI models will be based on Google’s Gemini under a multiyear deal.

The company’s class-A shares rose as much as 1.7% to $334.04 to hit a record high before giving up those gains.

A Reuters report earlier this year said that Samsung Electronics plans to double this year the number of its mobile devices with AI features powered by Gemini.

Alphabet last week surpassed Apple in market capitalization for the first time since 2019, becoming the second most valuable company in the world.
