Google has more than studies and blog post about machine learning, apart from research and opensource ML applications, they are heavily dependent on machine learning in almost all their major product that I know of. For the most part they extremely good at it.
What and how does FB use machine learning in their product?
PyTorch by itself would be enough to make FAIR a leader. PyTorch is being used in many research papers and was/is a leader in "eager execution" mode for neural nets. But there are many other things, such as fastText (see more projects here https://github.com/facebookresearch).
On the user side of things, they use it to suggest friends, detect/recognize faces in pictures, etc.
