Given that quantum computing (QC) can speed up training of neural networks (LLMs), it would be wise for Google to invest into QC as much as possible.
Google with Softbank invested about $230M into QC last year. Microsoft, IBM and Google have spent on QC $15B combined, through all of the time they researched it. $15B spent in 20 years, less than $1B per year, by three companies.
Google spent upwards of $150B last year in datacenters.
This may tell us something about how close we are to a working quantum computing.
