Google is ramping up its AI development efforts by restructuring its teams. The AI Studio team and the team behind Google’s Gemini models will now be under Google DeepMind, the AI R&D division responsible for many of Google’s recent innovations.
The Move to Google DeepMind
The move aims to enhance collaboration and accelerate research to developer pipeline. Engineer Jaana Dogan mentioned that this reshuffling will make DeepMind’s work more publicly available than ever before, with better APIs, more open source projects, and additional tools on the horizon.
