| Google folds more AI teams into DeepMind to 'accelerate the research to developer pipeline' |
| 2025-01-10 |
| [YahooFinance] As it looks to accelerate the pace of its AI development, Google is further streamlining the teams building its AI services, platforms, and tools. On Thursday, Logan Kilpatrick, who leads product for Google's AI Studio developer platform, said in a post on X that Google's AI Studio team and the team developing the API for the company's Gemini series of models will be moving under Google DeepMind. Google DeepMind, formed in 2023 from a merger of Google's DeepMind team and the Google Brain team from Google Research, is the AI R&D division behind many of Google's more recent AI product innovations, including Gemini. "This move will allow us to double down on our already deep collaboration and accelerate the research to developer pipeline," Kilpatrick wrote in his post. "The mission for our team stays the same." Jaana Dogan, an engineer on one of the teams moving to Google DeepMind, said in a post on X the reshuffling will help to make DeepMind's work "publicly available in ways that [weren't] possible before." "Better APIs, more open source, more tools, you name it ... it is just the very small percentage of what’s coming next," she wrote. TechCrunch reached out to Google for more information and will update this post if we hear back. Google's folding of dev-focused AI teams into its Google DeepMind org comes after the company moved the team behind its Gemini-powered chatbot, also called Gemini, to DeepMind. At the time, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the reorg was intended to "keep increasing the pace of progress" of Google's AI development. Google has also moved its models, research, and responsible AI teams to DeepMind in recent months. In audio from a December Google all-hands meeting obtained by CNBC, Pichai described the company's Gemini chatbot as having "strong momentum," while also acknowledging "we have some work to do in 2025 to close the gap and establish a leadership position there as well." "Scaling Gemini on the consumer side will be our biggest focus [in 2025]," Pichai reportedly said. “I think it’s really important we internalize the urgency of this moment, and [the] need to move faster as a company. The stakes are high."
