Google moves Gemini app team to DeepMind unit in reorganization

Google’s Gemini App team will join DeepMind under Demis Hassabis and its Assistant teams will move to Platforms & Devices, Google and Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG) CEO Sundar Pichai said in a memo to employees on Thursday. “The Gemini app team led by Sissie will join Google DeepMind under Demis. As the name suggests, the Gemini app is the direct consumer interface to the latest and greatest Gemini models. Bringing the teams closer together will improve feedback loops, enable fast deployment of our new models in the Gemini app, make our post-training work proceed more efficiently and build on our great product momentum. The Assistant teams focused on devices and home experiences will move to Platforms & Devices so they can sit closer to the product surfaces they’re building for and bring our AI-powered home initiatives into one team and focus on improving user experience.”
