Google's AI research organization that builds Gemini. AlphaGo and AlphaFold also came out of here. In August 2026, Google released Gemini 3.7 Flash, a coding-focused model, surpassing Anthropic's Claude on benchmarks. That same month, Gemini 3.7 Flash was updated again to a version that raised its intelligence score while cutting response time. Pixel Watch 5 will feature an offline-capable version of Gemini, with its price rising by $50. In August 2026, Demis Hassabis stepped down from Google DeepMind and Jeff Dean also left the company after 27 years, sending Alphabet's stock down 4%.

Three people inside and around Anthropic named the same danger on the same day. Why the one who left and the ones who stayed reached different conclusions, read together with the company's own risk report.
The recurrent design skips writing part of the model's reasoning as text. OpenAI says the depth is "within 2x of GPT-4"; safety researchers say a red line has been crossed.
A pretraining researcher resigned saying the labs are "gambling with our lives," and the head of alignment put the odds of humanity being wiped out within ten years above 10%.
Anthropic is cutting ties with ITI, the US tech industry lobbying group. It ended its membership after the group opposed three bills that would block advanced chips from reaching China.
OpenAI has released ChatGPT Images 2.5, cutting image generation time in half. The API gets two models alongside it: the fast Flare and the precise Sunburst.
