AI research lab owned by Google/Alphabet, origin of some Mistral founders.
“Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, and DeepMind have hired more than 80 current and former professors.”
Source→“Yesterday I was talking to Andrew Trask from DeepMind and he had like a very interesting viewpoint that there's a model on Open Router called Open Fusion, I think. And it's this like fusion model of basically a bunch of different models.”
Source→“Google's development of the TPU alongside its Gemini and DeepMind teams, as the clearest examples [of hardware-software co-design].”
Source→“Initially DeepMind basically does that. It's like everything in Lean. And then the next year it's all in natural language.”
Source→“DeepMind director John Jumper's departure for Anthropic.”
“Top AI researchers Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel are leaving Google for Anthropic after helping develop Gemini, extending a run of high-profile exits that also includes Noam Shazeer's move to OpenAI and DeepMind director John Jumper's departure for Anthropic.”
“"AlphaGo, where we can create all these self-play loops, is already self-accelerating AI."”
Source→“A24's partnership with Google's DeepMind looks a little different than recent tie-ups between Silicon Valley and Hollywood.”
Source→“DeepMind's Gemini Robotics team achieved amateur human-level competitive performance”
Source→“DeepMind was much more top down where Demis just had this vision of, okay, we're going to create AGI.”
Source→“DeepMind Chinchilla. Delayed by 1,539+ days and counting.”
“GPT-3: 538 days delayed. DeepMind Chinchilla: 1,539+ days and still not public (as of June 2026). Claude Fable 5: 105 days delayed before being banned upon release.”
“Harvey's response is the Legal Agent Benchmark (LAB), open-sourced in May, which tests long-horizon agentic work across 1,200+ tasks and 24 practice areas, with collaborators including NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and DeepMind.”
“frameworks like Dreamer 4 utilize these models as internal simulators where agents can recursively optimize long-horizon behaviors through imagination.”
Source→“"I think Demis' Nobel Prize was well deserved. Right? I think we had like 213,000 proteins we'd like mapped out... And I think his AI mapped out like 200 million of them just like all of a sudden." — Joe Lonsdale [00:28:11]”
Source→“When Ben highlights a DeepMind approach to building AGI that's distinct from the approaches at OpenAI and Anthropic, I'm compelled to both pay attention, and remember: for all of Google's faults and misses, they do in fact have plenty of historic hits.”
“The beauty of how AlphaGo trains itself is that it actually can take this final search process, the outcome of the search process and tell the policy network, hey, like you know, instead of having MCTS do all this legwork to arrive here, why don't you just predict that from the get-go.”
Source→“DeepMind — AI research lab (acquired by Google) — Early portfolio company; particularly notable given how early the AI thesis was”
“Inspired by Genie, we propose the Latent World Variation Quantization (LWVQ) module to encode world-knowledge variations in a fully unsupervised manner.”
Source→“Google co-founder Sergey Brin told DeepMind staffers that Google needs to catch up with Anthropic on AI coding agents, and 'every Gemini engineer must be forced to use internal agents for complex, multi-step tasks.'”
Source→“3 researchers left DeepMind and Meta with a thesis and a team of six.”
