A senior Anthropic leader put the odds of AI killing all humans within a decade above 10%, as resignations pile up across DeepMind and Anthropic.

The 31-year-old creator of the Dreamer agent series left Google DeepMind in fall 2025 to launch a stealth robotics startup in San Francisco.

A Gemini 3.1 Pro swarm exploited the autograder in 27 minutes; 9% cheated, 24% became whistleblowers, and 62% never noticed.

The new model trains on live satellite data instead of physics simulations, cutting the six-hour lag that plagues traditional forecasting.

The Omni update pushes generative video to 4K, extends clips to 40 seconds, and cuts draft costs to a third at 360p.

A cryptographic sandbox lets outside evaluators grade Gemini Flash Lite without seeing the weights — or leaking the test questions.

The new speech-to-text model hits a 4.0% streaming WER, cuts time to final transcription by 70%, and supports over 85 languages.

The London lab, fresh off a $50M seed, says its DeepMind-alumni-built agent matches frontier systems using a fraction of the parameters.

Google DeepMind extends 15 years of games research from Atari to EVE Online with a new agent that collaborates with human players.

The Cambridge startup founded by ex-DeepMind and Boston Dynamics researchers is chasing a GPT-3 moment for physical intelligence.

Netflix says 300 shows now use generative AI, and Ben Affleck's $587M exit signals Hollywood's tech shift is already here.

The update extends the model from upper-body manipulation to full-body motion, letting Apptronik's Apollo 2 walk, crouch and pick items off shelves.

The new embodied reasoning model tracks task progress from live video, orchestrates other robots, and runs at 4x the speed of larger rivals.

The updated model fuses a vision-language brain with two action models to run robots like Apptronik's Apollo 2 on real chores.

The new music model adds tempo and duration controls, better prompt adherence on lyrics, and more expressive vocals, rolling out today in Flow Music.

A Chinese research team fed guide RNAs, target DNA, and Cas9 into AlphaFold to find the 10 amino acids that let the protein stick where it shouldn't.

Google DeepMind opens AlphaFold 3, AlphaEvolve, and Gemini for Government to all 17 US National Laboratories under the White House initiative.
