Now, Google has reportedly received a massive 'longshot' offer from a surprising source: Perplexity AI.

In an unlikely bid that shows the growing brashness of young artificial intelligence companies, the A.I. start-up Perplexity has made an unsolicited offer to buy Google’s Chrome web browser for $34.5 billion.

The offer comes as a judge, who concluded this year that Google held a search market monopoly, considers forcing Google to sell its Chrome browser.
