Business Outlook
Pros
- DeepMind is extremely well-positioned in the AI space with top notch talent and a solid track record of delivering SoTA models - Google's strategic investments in the fully integrated vertical stack (TPUs, Scaling Firmware, Training Data, Evals infrastructure and model delivery) is makes their advantage resistant to market fluctuations - Google's roster of 1B+ DAU products provides an enviable distribution network for Gemini launches across the world
Cons
- Organizational complexity of the Google Product org ecosystem conflicts with DeepMind's startup-like velocity - Relentless pace of releases with very little planning for balancing the workloads is burning out talent
