Berkshire CEO Abel outlines AI opportunities: energy and Alphabet stake
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel discussed the company's two primary AI investment avenues in a CNBC interview. The first involves supplying energy to AI data centers through Berkshire Hathaway Energy, which he sees as a significant opportunity, contingent on no negative impact on existing customers' rates and community acceptance. The second is Berkshire's nearly $36 billion stake in Alphabet, with a recent $10 billion purchase from the company at a 6.5% discount, part of Alphabet's $80 billion equity raise to fund AI infrastructure. Abel also touched on Japanese investments, the trading house stakes, and the Taylor Morrison acquisition, providing a broad view of Berkshire's strategic positioning in AI and other sectors.
Google Launches Gemini 3.8 Flash and Wins Ad Exchange Ruling
Google opened September with renewed AI momentum, launching Gemini 3.8 Flash, a coding- and agentic-task-focused model, and Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber for trusted government and enterprise defenders. The release follows a difficult summer for Alphabet and comes as DeepMind undergoes reorganization. A federal judge also rejected the Justice Department's push to force Google to sell its AdX ad exchange, instead opting for behavioral remedies. The ruling bolsters Google's ad business, which grew 14% in the latest quarter. Google is competing on price, charging $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens for Gemini 3.8 Flash, while adding pay-as-you-go options and token discounts in Gemini Enterprise. Analysts note Google remains behind Anthropic and OpenAI in the enterprise AI market. Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel publicly backed Alphabet's AI position.
Berkshire CEO Abel Cites Growing Data Center Pushback
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel told CNBC that U.S. communities are showing significantly more resistance to data center construction. Abel stated that Berkshire's interest in providing power and electricity for these sites is conditional on not raising rates for its other customers. His comments highlight growing organized political opposition to large computing projects that strain local power and water resources. New York State has enacted a moratorium on data center construction, and other states have pending restrictions of varying intensity. Mizuho analysts noted that investors view data centers as a potential issue in the upcoming midterm elections, citing concerns about resource consumption and limited long-term job creation. The U.S. currently has approximately 4,700 data centers, a number that continues to grow.
