Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed on Alex Kantrowitz's podcast that compute for 2027 is essentially sold out: "If today a customer comes to us asking for compute in 2027, that is incredibly difficult to do."
He noted this is partly why Google leased short-term compute last year — to accommodate certain customers. The remark underscores how AI demand is locking up capacity years in advance across the industry.
The full interview is available on YouTube.
