Sources say Google has created a strike team to improve its coding models; Sergey Brin told DeepMind staffers they must aggressively pivot to catch up on agents

    find it odd that every Deepmind person I come across works on post training but gemini is probably the worst post trained model out of all frontier models
  • @spicey_lemonade @spicey_lemonade on x
    Anthropic really forced every major lab to switch from agi to swe agents.
  • @erinkwoo Erin Woo on x
    yeah bro sergey brin is trying to internal coding model maxx because anthropic is mogging them on agentic coding. chat is google cooked. is google unc. is google chopped https://www.theinformation.com/ ...

    “The end goal is AI takeoff, or AI that can improve itself.” Google is back in the game.

    The Anthropic effect... at Google: [image]

    Please let this be before Google I/O 2026 Solid coding models from Google would be amazing since they have so many surfaces I can use it: - CLI - Antigravity - Jules - AI Studio - API in another harness using my $10 cloud credits

    Google DeepMind formed a strike team to improve its coding models, with Sergey Brin directly involved. It's surprising to me that Google has the world's largest internal codebase (>2B LOC), yet lags behind Anthropic and OpenAI in coding + agents. “Google's AI writes 50% of [image…

    My tweet last week about Google's AI adoption drew a lot of pushback, to say the least... What they describe is a two-tier system.  DeepMind engineers use Claude as a daily tool.  Most of the rest of Google does not.  When the question of equalizing access came up internally, the…

    The Gemini models are probably the best base model of any of them, but the behavior and RL on the model is... not amazing It's REALLY good, but also super inconsistent If they can nail the RL environment on top of the base model, that'll be huge deal
  • @kylebrussell Kyle Russell on x
    Needed Gemini benchmarks in the top tier but I only think to use it for image generation and looking at video
  • @glinden Greg Linden on bluesky
    This is going to be interesting because it's not clear Google can duplicate what Anthropic has done with agents, not because the technology is hard, but the cost of turning one prompt into hundreds are too high, too unprofitable.  Google, a public company, can't light money on fi…
