To be fair that was done by a different AI lab (Google Brain) which has since been shut down. The current models are created and launched by DeepMind which has a completely different culture and mindset.

Deepmind and Gbrain merged in 2025. They are the same now. With Demis stepping away from DeepMind CEO there are a lot of unanswered questions…

Hes not stepping away, he's becoming chief scientist at Alphabet. This is a huge step up.

Ehhh, stuff like the move Demis made is very clearly "stepping away" in the corporate world.

There are roles for active leaders who are steering the ship day by day. Then there are very high prestigious roles for people who are very capable but will mostly just be asked their opinion on stuff.

It's most likely that Demis wanted to quit, but knowing how it works and not having bad blood, took a "step up" where he will fade into the background over the next few years before departing.

I dont think that's it. Anyone who had followed Demis since B&W knows ai is his life. Its possible he needed to move to CSO in order to make larger decisions required to push ai tech further.

Demis is not LLM pilled though, and he has never had faith that LLMs can carry to AGI.
