Alphabet is in talks to issue its inaugural yen-denominated bond, marking its first foray into Japanese local-currency debt. The issuance aims to raise funding for AI infrastructure and research, diversify the company’s capital structure and take advantage of favorable interest rates in Japan’s debt market.

Google’s Gemini AI will be integrated into Samsung’s Bespoke smart refrigerators, enabling on-device computer vision to identify and track thousands of food items. The update leverages AI to improve inventory management and smart notifications, and is expected to rollout via a firmware upgrade later this year.
