Google’s DeepMind is having an identity crisis

Fortune 17 ● 3 sources

DeepMind reorganised its leadership after Demis Hassabis stepped from CEO into a chair role, while chief scientist Jeff Dean also left. Gemini 3.5 Pro has missed three release dates since its May I/O reveal, and independent tests say Gemini 3.6 Flash trails multiple major rivals in raw intelligence. DeepMind is shifting day-to-day control to the CTO, losing key talent, and trying to regain momentum without its main scientific leaders while power concentrates closer to Google headquarters.

What We Learned by Reproducing 2,200 papers from ICML

Hugging Face 2 months ago 39

A community hackathon reproduced ICML 2026 papers claim-by-claim at scale, publishing thousands of logbooks and running automated claim judgments. It produced 6,816 reproduction logbooks covering 2,226 papers, about 34% of the conference. The results show reproducibility varies by claim with many partial checks and contested outcomes, and they argue human reviewers still matter mainly for steering, evaluation tasks that need judgment, and catching limits of agent execution.
