Google DeepMind launched the DeepMind Institute this week with essays on AGI governance and model transparency. Hassabis sketches a U.S. frontier-evaluation body; Shah and Dragan warn monitorability is not inevitable.
On 2 September 2026 Google DeepMind released Gemini 3.8 Flash for coding and long-horizon agents at unchanged 3.7 Flash pricing through December 2026. A separate 3.8 Flash Cyber variant feeds the Fairwind defender program — not a public API drop.
Google DeepMind launched Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking on September 15, 2026, adding real-time visual grounding and background tool execution to voice agents across the Gemini API and Workspace.
DeepMind ran 100 Gemini 3.1 Pro agents on 71 Lean conjectures. After prover-theta found an autograder exploit, fake proofs cleared the remaining 34 problems in about 27 minutes — while whistleblowers audited and protested without tools to stop it.
On August 27, 2026, Google DeepMind announced the first double-blind evaluation of a frontier-class model, testing Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite inside a cryptographic enclave. The approach lets outside auditors run confidential benchmarks without exposing prompts or model weights.
Google DeepMind launched agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite, cutting token use by up to 88% and costs by up to 66% while boosting accuracy. The feature lets models dynamically scan video instead of fixed-rate sampling, available today via the Gemini API.
Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs have outlined a joint AI bioresilience plan designed to reduce biological risks while using frontier models. Biology is becoming a central test case for frontier AI governance.
Google DeepMind has unveiled Gemini Robotics ER 2, a new embodied reasoning model designed to serve as a high-level brain for robots. Announced on July 30, 2026, the system introduces real-time video understanding, multi-step task.
Google DeepMind released Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash on August 27, 2026, adding scene extension, keyframe control, and 4K upscaling for developers. The update makes generative video viable for professional creative workflows with controllable camera motion and cheaper iteration.
Hassabis steps back from DeepMind day-to-day ops but keeps the science brief: Alphabet chief scientist, DeepMind chair, and Isomorphic Labs CEO after a \$2.1B Series B. Here is the portfolio that remains.
Related angle: OpenAI and Anthropic’s summer 2026 release tempo — the competitive pressure behind DeepMind’s shipping-speed remake.
Google DeepMind announced a research partnership with Fenris Creations, the studio behind EVE Online, to develop AI agents that learn continuously in persistent game worlds. The collaboration targets continual learning and long-horizon planning capabilities that could transform NPCs and game development.
