To catch up with Anthropic in the field of AI programming, Google DeepMind has assembled an elite Gemini team led by Sebastian Borgeaud, focusing on tackling complex and long-term programming challenges. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and DeepMind's Chief Technology Officer are both involved in this initiative. Brin emphasised the need to narrow the gap with Anthropic in agent execution, requiring engineers to leverage internal agent tools to enhance AI programming capabilities, and pointed out that robust programming capabilities are the foundation for AI self-improvement. Additionally, Google ranks teams by tracking the usage rate of 'Jetski' and organises training sessions for engineers to promote the AI-driven development process.
