Google将数月前成立的AI编码突击队扩展为更正式的“midtraining”小组,位于预训练与后训练之间,旨在提升Gemini编码能力,并延伸至创建演示文稿等商业任务。此前,Noam Shazeer因计算资源变动转投OpenAI,Nobel奖得主John Jumper调至该团队后也加入Anthropic。Google承认,仅靠强大基座模型不够,编码已成为AI最明确的变现层,Anthropic借此获得收入增长。Google需专用训练、计算和更清晰的产品闭环来追赶。
Google is reorganizing its AI coding strike team as it tries to close the gap with Anthropic in one of the most lucrative parts of the AI market.
According to The Information, the months-old team is being expanded into a more formal "midtraining" group, sitting between pretraining and post-training. The goal is to improve Gemini's coding abilities and extend those capabilities into broader business tasks like creating presentations.
The move comes after two major departures: Noam Shazeer reportedly left for OpenAI after changes to his compute access, while Nobel Prize winner John Jumper is heading to Anthropic after recently being moved to the coding strike team.
