To accelerate the development of its AI technologies, Google is further streamlining the teams working to create AI services, platforms and tools.
On Thursday, Logan Kilpatrick, product lead for Google’s AI Studio developer platform, announced on X-u that Google’s AI Studio team and the team developing the API for Gemini models will be transferred under Google DeepMind.
Google DeepMind, founded in 2023 by the merger of Google’s DeepMind team and the Google Brain team from Google Research, is the AI R&D division behind many recent innovations in Google’s AI products, including Gemini.
“This move will allow us to collaborate even more deeply and accelerate the process from research to development,” Kilpatrick wrote in his announcement. “Our team’s mission remains the same.”
Jaana Dogan, an engineer on one of the teams transitioning to Google DeepMind, said in a post on X that the reorganization will help DeepMind’s work “become publicly available in ways that weren’t possible before.”
“Better APIs, more open source tools, more tools, whatever you can imagine… this is just a small part of what’s coming,” she wrote.
Google’s merger of teams focused on developing AI technologies into its Google DeepMind organization comes after the company moved the team that worked on its chatbot based on Gemini models, also called Gemini, to DeepMind. At the time, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the reorganization was designed to “continue to accelerate the pace of progress” in the development of Google’s AI technologies.
Google has also moved its modeling, research and responsible AI teams to DeepMind in recent months.
In a recording from a December all-staff Google meeting obtained by CNBC, Pichai described Google’s Gemini chatbot as “strong in momentum,” while acknowledging that “we still have work to do in 2025 to close the gap and took a leading position there as well.”
“Scaling Gemini on the consumer side will be our biggest focus (in 2025),” Pichai said. “I think it’s really important that we internalize the urgency of this moment and the need to move faster as a company. The stakes are high.”
