Tech giant behind Gemini models with multimodal capabilities spanning text, code, and visuals.
Key Highlights
Formed by merging DeepMind (founded 2010, acquired 2014) and Google Brain (founded 2011).
Led by DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis.
Pioneered Deep Reinforcement Learning (AlphaGo beat Go world champion; AlphaStar mastered StarCraft II).
Developed AlphaFold, dramatically advancing protein structure prediction (Nobel Prize 2024).
Invented the Transformer architecture, underpinning modern LLMs like BERT, LaMDA, PaLM, and Gemini.
Created the Gemini family (Nano, Pro, Ultra, Flash, 2.5) as natively multimodal models.
Released Gemma open-weight models derived from Gemini research.
Developed WaveNet/WaveRNN for realistic text-to-speech (used in Google Assistant).
Created AI for coding (AlphaCode), math (AlphaGeometry, AlphaProof), algorithm discovery (AlphaDev), robotics (RoboCat, SIMA), and more.
Applies AI to Google products (Search, Ads, Android, Cloud TPUs, data center efficiency).
