Our team is hiring REs (job-boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/job...) and RSs (job-boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/job...). Please apply if you are interested in game theory / multiagent.

Gemini 2.5 Pro - our most intelligent model, is getting an update before general availability. ✨ It’s even better at: coding 🖥️, reasoning 💡, and creative writing ✍️ Learn more. 🧵

Elo has given us a lot, and it would have been great if all we wanted was for them to "count rs in 🍓".

Frontier models are often compared on crowdsourced user prompts - user prompts can be low-quality, biased and redundant, making "performance on average" hard to trust. Come find us at #ICLR2025 to discuss game-theoretic evaluation (shorturl.at/0QtBj)! See you in Singapore

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

“Proteins sticking to other proteins is what makes life exist.” 🧬 We explain the science behind AlphaProteo: our AI system for designing protein binders that holds huge potential for biology. ▶️ Hear from @jueseph, co-lead of the protein design team, @davidla, research scientist, and Harshnira Patani, wet lab lead here at Google DeepMind. ↓

We’re presenting AlphaProteo: an AI system for designing novel proteins that bind more successfully to target molecules. 🧬 It could help scientists better understand how biological systems function, save time in research, advance drug design and more. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3XuMqbX

VLMs do *not* describe 3D objects consistently from different angles! But we could summarize different descriptions using a language model, right? Well… here’s what happens when an LLM merges multiple contradictory descriptions of the same object.

Grateful for this first (starred!) review — August is starting to feel so soon 💙 publishersweekly.com/9781644452943

A huge thank you to Andrew, Stephanie, Cathy and Elly at Pickering Book Tree for hosting my launch event. Brilliant hosts, brilliant venue and lovely audience. I am proud to have been part of your programme to celebrate Independent Bookshop Week.

London. 1968. An ordinary suburban street. Or perhaps not... Featuring a delicious cast of characters, dazzling plotting, and an utterly unique voice, @gaymarrisauthor's A Curtain Twitcher's Book of Murder is set to be a crime fiction treat this June: bit.ly/3J9jJcw

Counting the days until 20th of June! Beyond excited! #Curtaintwitchers #CurtainTwitchersBookOfMurder

Signing copies of A Curtain Twitcher's Book of Murder on publication day! Thank you Isla at Criminally Good Books, York, for making me so welcome in your FABULOUS shop. I had a wonderful time.

Super cool to see our work on game theory + LLMs mentioned in Quanta magazine! Thanks Steve Nadis for covering it along with Athul and team! x.com/drimgemp/statu…

Our work on approximating Nash equilibria via stochastic optimization received an honorable mention!

We're announcing TacticAI: an AI assistant capable of offering insights to football experts on corner kicks. ⚽ Developed with @LFC, it can help teams sample alternative player setups to evaluate possible outcomes, and achieves state-of-the-art results. 🧵 dpmd.ai/49PGq1b

TacticAI is an AI system that can advise football coaches on tactics & plays deepmind.google/discover/blog/… This was a really fun project to work on in collaboration with my much loved Liverpool FC @LFC - fingers crossed we win the league this year to give Klopp a fitting send off!

🎲 TacticAI uses both predictive and generative AI to help redesign corner kick tactics to optimize for certain scenarios. It can also propose adjustments to players' positions - meaning coaches can identify patterns and detect who is critical to a tactic's success or failure.

Calling all #GameTheory and #MARL enthusiasts! This Friday (15 Mar) @drimgemp will be talking about ‘Approximating Nash Equilibria via Stochastic Optimization’. Come check it out!

What do haggling, debate, and convincing your kids to go to bed all have in common with Poker? With #LLMs, we map them all onto the framework of #gametheory; we then generate conversational strategies using the same methods that beat top Poker pros. arxiv.org/abs/2402.01704
