Google clears $32B Wiz acquisition hurdle
🚨 Our Report
Google's $32B acquisition of cloud security firm Wiz has cleared U.S. Department of Justice antitrust review, bringing the tech giant closer to finalizing. Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport confirmed the milestone at a Wall Street Journal event, though it still requires additional approvals before closing in early 2026.
🔓 Key Points
The acquisition amount rose from Google's initial $23B in 2024, which Wiz rejected, to $32B when talks resumed in early 2025.
Wiz provides cloud security solutions that scan and protect cloud infrastructure, making it a strategic asset for Google Cloud as enterprises migrate sensitive workloads to cloud environments requiring robust security frameworks.
The timeline spans nearly two years from initial discussions to expected closure, with antitrust permissions representing a major milestone, but additional regulatory approvals are still pending before the acquisition completes.
🔐 Relevance
This acquisition signals Google's aggressive push to compete with Microsoft and Amazon in enterprise cloud security. For enterprise leaders, this consolidation could mean enhanced security tools within Google Cloud but potentially altered vendor landscapes as major platforms acquire independent security companies.

Case Study
How Instacart cut engineering time by 20% with AI
Instacart, a US grocery delivery platform, faced slow product development cycles that delayed launches and a lack of innovation speed across engineering teams.
The issue came from manual coding, debugging, and testing workflows that consumed hours of repetitive effort within large, complex codebases.
Through its internal Project Tomato initiative, Instacart embedded AI coding assistants like Ava and Cursor to automate refactoring, debugging, and test generation.
The result was a 20% increase in engineering velocity, freeing developers to focus on design quality and faster product delivery.
AI News Story
Xpeng to launch robotaxis and humanoid robots
Chinese automaker Xpeng has announced plans to begin testing robotaxis in Guangzhou in 2026, marking a major shift from its earlier stance that the technology was still years away from commercialization.
The company also revealed its second-generation humanoid robot, Iron, which will enter mass production next year. Initially, the robots will serve as tour guides and assistants within Xpeng facilities before broader deployment.
Xpeng’s dual push into autonomous vehicles and robotics positions the company to move beyond EVs and challenge Tesla across AI-driven products, supported by a partnership with Alibaba’s AutoNavi.
