DeepMind Research Reveals Outstanding Performance of Large Language Models in Image and Audio Compression


Google's AI code team restructured in under 2 months. DeepMind now handles mid-training, the critical stage between pre-training and instruction alignment, aiming to close the generative AI programming gap with Anthropic.....
Alphabet's DeepMind partners with indie studio A24 in a $75M "unprecedented" deal to co-develop AI filmmaking tools, accelerating AI's entry into Hollywood's core creative process with direct artist feedback.....
John Jumper, Google DeepMind VP and AlphaFold lead, departs after nearly 9 years for rival Anthropic. His exit marks another key loss for Google's core AI research team.....
Alex Imaas, the head of economics at Google DeepMind, pointed out that there is currently no evidence to suggest that AI has caused job losses or mass unemployment among white-collar workers. The employment situation in the software engineering industry has also not significantly changed. He believes that AI mainly handles repetitive tasks, helping employees focus on tasks that machines cannot perform, thus alleviating concerns about the impact on employment.
Gu Quanquan, a core researcher at ByteDance's Seed team, has confirmed her departure. She shared her research achievements in AI drug discovery and pre-training of large language models over the past three years on a social platform. The bio-molecular structure prediction model SeedFold, which she led the development of, performed excellently in multiple public benchmark tests. This departure comes as ByteDance's AI business accelerates its commercialization, drawing attention to the emerging trend of AI for Science startups.
