Perplexity made an unsolicited $34.5 billion bid for Google's web browser and claims it has the backing to pull it off.

Perplexity AI has made a surprise $34.5 billion cash offer for Google’s Chrome browser, despite that being twice the AI startups own value.

There is so much capital floating around in the artificial intelligence sphere currently that even a cash-poor firm like Perplexity can secure enough investment to splurge on Chrome. Reuters reports that the all-cash offer is funded by various venture funds, but Perplexity has not offered specifics.
