> Google is one of the leaders in AI and are home to incredibly talented developers. But they also have an incredibly bad track record of supporting their products.
This is why we've stayed with Anthropic. Every single person I work with on my current project is sore at Google for discontinuing one product or another - and not a single one of them mentioned Reader.
We do run some non-customer facing assets in Google Cloud. But the website and API are on AWS.
Just to drive the point home. I made the parent comment five days ago. Today I searched Google for "google-cloud-skd vs google-cloud-cli", the top result was this page from two years ago:
> CLI is the new name for the SDK.The reasoning and strategy was explained in great detail in this podcast:

So I click that link, and I'm greeted with:
> Google Podcasts is no longer available
> Listen to podcasts and build your library in the YouTube Music app.
This is why AWS and Anthropic are getting our money. We can not trust that Google projects will survive as long as our business needs.
