Google DeepMind undergoes a leadership reshuffle with Demis Hassabis moving to Chair and Chief Scientist roles, while Koray Kavukcuoglu takes operational control focusing on Gemini and product execution. The launch of Discovery Loop by founders including Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, and Quoc Le targets automated machine learning and scientific discovery, backed by major venture firms. Meta AI releases Muse Spark 1.2 and Muse Code (beta), co-trained model and harness for coding agents, achieving strong benchmark scores and emphasizing harness-model co-design, entering the coding-agent competition alongside systems like Claude Code and Codex. The market views these moves as pivotal for AI-for-science and coding agent development.
