Google DeepMind announced SIMA 2 on November 13, 2025 as a generalist foundation model for virtual 3D environments. The system is designed to play and reason alongside humans, with in-context learning that can improve behavior from examples.
Isomorphic Labs, the DeepMind spin-off focused on AI-driven drug discovery, has unveiled a new AI that scientists are calling a generational leap comparable to AlphaFold.
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposed a concrete AGI benchmark: train an AI with a knowledge cutoff of 1911, then see if it can independently derive general relativity as Einstein did in 1915. This test targets genuine scientific discovery rather than pattern matching.
Google DeepMind spin-off Isomorphic Labs published a technical report on IsoDDE, a proprietary drug discovery AI that scientists are comparing to a hypothetical AlphaFold 4. The model excels at predicting protein-drug binding and has secured billion-dollar deals with J&J, Eli Lilly, and Novartis.
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposed a concrete test for true AGI: train an AI with a 1911 knowledge cutoff, then see if it can independently derive general relativity — as Einstein did in 1915.
Google DeepMind announced AlphaGenome on June 25, 2025, alongside a Nature publication and a preview API for non-commercial research. The model processes up to 1 million DNA letters and jointly predicts diverse regulatory properties and variant effects from a single framework.
Google DeepMind announced Genie 3, a world model that generates interactive environments from text or image prompts. The system targets 720p at 24fps and sustains coherent interactive worlds for over one minute.
Google DeepMind announced Gemini Robotics-ER 2 on January 8, 2026, highlighting improved data efficiency and real-world action performance. The update targets a core robotics bottleneck: reliable generalization from training to physical environments.
Google DeepMind published new results on February 11, 2026 showing Gemini Deep Think workflows for mathematics, physics, and computer science research. The post outlines two new papers, evaluation benchmarks, and agent-assisted verification methods.
Google DeepMind spinoff Isomorphic Labs revealed IsoDDE, an AI drug design engine that more than doubles AlphaFold 3's accuracy. It reduces drug discovery timelines from years to months, transforming pharmaceutical R&D.
