Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas has jumped into the Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google antitrust conversation by asking his followers on X if his AI startup should acquire the Google Chrome browser.

Perplexity AI首席执行官阿拉文德·斯里尼瓦斯已经进入了Alphabet Inc.(纳斯达克股票代码:GOOG)(纳斯达克股票代码:GOOG)的谷歌反垄断对话,他在X上询问他的AI初创公司是否应该收购谷歌浏览器。

This comes amid the U.S. Department of Justice's push to break up Google's empire.

这是在美国司法部推动分裂谷歌帝国之际发生的。

What Happened: Srinivas sparked speculation by posting "Should Perplexity buy Chrome?" on X, following reports that Chrome could be valued at up to $20 billion if a court-ordered sale materializes.

发生了什么:斯里尼瓦斯发布了 “Perplexity 应该购买 Chrome 吗?”,引发了人们的猜测在X上,此前有报道称,如果法院下令出售,Chrome的估值可能高达200亿美元。

The discussion comes after Judge Amit Mehta's August ruling that Google maintains an illegal monopoly in online search. The DOJ is now seeking remedies, including the potential sale of Chrome, the world's dominant web browser.

讨论是在阿米特·梅塔法官于8月裁定谷歌维持在线搜索的非法垄断地位之后进行的。美国司法部目前正在寻求补救措施,包括可能出售全球占主导地位的网络浏览器Chrome。

Google strongly opposes the proposal. "The DOJ continues to push a radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case," said Google executive Lee-Anne Mulholland in a statement.

谷歌强烈反对该提议。谷歌高管李·安妮·穆赫兰在一份声明中说:“司法部继续推动一项激进的议程,该议程远远超出了本案的法律问题。”

Why It Matters: Perplexity, founded just two years ago and backed by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), has shown remarkable growth. The San Francisco-based company is reportedly in talks to raise approximately $500 million in its fourth funding round, potentially pushing its valuation to $8 billion or higher – a significant jump from its $3 billion previous valuation. The company's annualized revenue has reached $50 million, up from $10 million in March.

为何重要:Perplexity成立于两年前,由亚马逊公司(纳斯达克股票代码:AMZN)支持,已显示出显著的增长。据报道,这家总部位于旧金山的公司正在谈判在第四轮融资中筹集约5亿美元,这有可能将其估值推高至80亿美元或以上,较之前的30亿美元估值大幅上涨。该公司的年化收入已从3月份的1000万美元增加到5000万美元。

The AI-powered search engine has gained significant traction, reporting 250 million questions answered in the past month alone, compared to 500 million queries throughout all of last year.

人工智能驱动的搜索引擎获得了巨大的吸引力,仅在过去一个月中就回答了25000万个问题,而去年全年的查询量为50000万个。

However, the company faces challenges, including criticism from web publishers over content usage rights, with The New York Times issuing a cease-and-desist notice.

但是,该公司面临挑战,包括网络出版商对内容使用权的批评,《纽约时报》发布了停止和终止通知。
