Google DeepMind Expands Co-Scientist to Closed-Loop Laboratory Workflows
Google DeepMind researchers have released empirical results detailing an expanded version of Co-Scientist, transitioning the Gemini-based multi-agent system from purely computational hypothesis generation into a closed-loop research framework connected to physical laboratory instruments and automated code pipelines. Documented in an arXiv preprint by Samuel Schmidgall, Zhu, and collaborators, the system combines multi-agent ideation, deterministic execution scaffolding, and automated manuscript

Google DeepMind Pilots Double-Blind AI Evaluations in Hardware-Isolated Cryptographic Enclaves
Google DeepMind has introduced a framework for conducting double-blind evaluations of proprietary frontier AI models within cryptographically isolated computing environments. The initiative, developed in partnership with the Singapore AI Safety Institute, OpenMined, AVERI, and MLCommons, aims to resolve the tension between protecting benchmark datasets from contamination and safeguarding proprietary model weights. In traditional third-party model evaluations, organizations face an unavoidable c

Google DeepMind Outlines 15-Year Game AI Arc and EVE Online Research Sandbox
Google DeepMind has detailed its 15-year trajectory of game-based artificial intelligence research, outlining how milestones from arcade reinforcement learning to modern multimodal models have culminated in an experimental research program inside the persistent virtual universe of EVE Online. The retrospective connects early breakthroughs in discrete, fully observable games to the frontier challenges currently facing autonomous systems: long-horizon planning, non-stationary multi-agent dynamics

Guidelight Assessment Finds Frontier AI Labs Lack Basic Internal Safety Controls
Nonprofit AI safety evaluation organization Guidelight has published its inaugural assessment of internal control practices across frontier AI developers. Evaluating public disclosures from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, and Meta, the study finds that foundational mechanisms for monitoring, gating, and containing advanced internal AI models remain only partially implemented across the industry. No evaluated organization achieved full or near-full implementation on any of the standard'

Google DeepMind's WeatherNext predicts cyclone tracks and intensity at the same time
Google DeepMind has introduced WeatherNext Cyclones, or WN-C, an AI system for tropical cyclone forecasting that sees about one day further into the future than leading operational models. The gain roughly matches the progress traditional weather models made over a decade. The model was built with the National Hurricane Center, the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, and the UK Met Office. Forecasts have been running live on Google's Weather Lab since June 2025. During Hurrica

Why DeepMind Researchers Are Leaving: Limited TPU Access, Bureaucracy, and a Chips Conflict
As senior AI researchers continue to leave Google DeepMind, reporting is surfacing reasons behind the departures. Two recurring themes: limited access to Google's TPU chips, and a conflict of interest where Google Cloud sells those same chips to rivals the researchers are expected to beat. Semafor reported that CEO Demis Hassabis stepped back from daily operations about a year ago, turning those duties over to DeepMind chief Koray Kavukcuoglu. Hassabis was not forced out, but reportedly found m
