“Developer loyalty is at zero right now”: Google doesn’t care which AI coding tool you use

At Google Cloud Next, Richard Seroter said developer loyalty is low and Google wants its cloud to be the best place to build and run AI apps.

Google Cloud will support developers even if they choose rival tools or models, and aims to win on performance, guidance, and platform quality.

The company is leaning into an open, unified platform strategy as competition in AI developer tooling intensifies.

Google also pushed back on criticism that it moves too slowly on AI, arguing it is focused on practical delivery.
