Google Highlights Data Manager API Features in Ads DevCast
Google's Ads Developer Relations team released the seventh episode of its Ads DevCast podcast, featuring a conversation with Data Manager Product Managers Xuezhu Li and Stephen Chang on the Data Manager API.

It also details the new Status API for unified pipeline health monitoring with aggregated row-level error reporting, and Confidential Match, a privacy feature that relies on Confidential Compute with hardware-isolated Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). The episode outlines four reasons to adopt the API—performance, privacy, new features, and developer experience—along with engineering best practices.
Google, as a major platform, is highlighting new capabilities of its Data Manager API for first-party data ingestion, pipeline monitoring, and privacy-preserving confidential compute, which can shape AdTech integration and data management practices.

Higher Rates Split Market; AI Stocks Have Advantage: Cramer
Jim Cramer says that rising borrowing costs are splitting the stock market into two camps: credit-sensitive sectors facing pressure and AI-related firms that remain largely insulated. He highlights strong demand for AI growth, citing SpaceX's potential $40 billion borrowing to buy Nvidia chips for data centers, which he expects to get attractive terms despite its BBB rating. In contrast, Skydance's bonds fell after its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, reflecting challenges in traditional media. Cramer argues that AI data center stocks are less affected by Treasury yields because their future growth prospects are considered extremely bright.
Alphabet Faces Securities Class Action Over Gemini 3.5 Pro Delay
Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has filed a securities class action lawsuit against Alphabet Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased Alphabet securities between May 19, 2026 and July 16, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that Alphabet made materially false or misleading statements regarding the development progress and expected June 2026 launch timeline of its flagship AI model, Gemini 3.5 Pro. Specifically, the complaint claims that management failed to disclose that the model was delivering disappointing training results, leading to a significant delay. When Bloomberg reported on July 16, 2026 that the model was months behind schedule, Alphabet's stock price fell approximately 4.4%. The lead plaintiff deadline is December 1, 2026.
