Google Cloud and Stack Overflow announced a strategic partnership that mixes the strengths of Google Cloud’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology with Stack Overflow’s deep developer expertise.
The partnership gives Google Cloud customers access to Stack Overflow directly in Google Cloud Console and Gemini for Google Cloud. Stack Overflow developers may also reap the benefits of Google Cloud’s AI technology to find coding solutions more efficiently.
“This partnership combines our enterprise AI platform with the most deep and popular developer knowledge platform available today,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “Google Cloud and Stack Overflow will help developers use AI more effectively on their preferred platforms by combining the vast knowledge of the Stack Overflow community with new AI capabilities powered by Vertex AI and the trusted, secure infrastructure of Google Cloud.”
The partnership leverages Stack Overflow’s 15 years of experience and advanced Google Cloud development tools, including artificial intelligence capabilities. These generative AI capabilities are powered by Gemini, Google’s latest and strongest big language model, which also powers an AI chatbot and other services.
“In the era of AI, Stack Overflow has maintained that trusted and accurate data will be the key to building technology solutions, and millions of developers around the world will use our platform as one of the few sources of high-quality information at its core, with community attribution at its core,” said Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow.
We hope that combining Gemini for Google Cloud with Stack Overflow’s extensive knowledge base will increase developer productivity and accuracy. Developers will have the option to easily ask questions on their code and get answers backed by Stack Overflow data without leaving the Google Cloud environment.
“This groundbreaking, multi-dimensional partnership focused on AI…underscores our shared commitment to unlocking developer creativity, increasing productivity without sacrificing accuracy, and delivering socially responsible AI. By combining the strengths of our two companies, we can accelerate innovation across industries,” added Chandrasekar.
The first integrations of the brand new partnership between Stack Overflow and Gemini for Google Cloud will probably be available in the primary half of 2024 and will probably be showcased on the Google Cloud Next event on April 9/11.
