Google DeepMind has recruited Aaron Saunders, the former CTO of Boston Dynamics, to enhance its robotics efforts. DeepMind aims to develop Gemini as a versatile robot operating system, leveraging AI to control various robotic forms. The move reflects growing competition in the robotics field, particularly from startups and companies in China.

An advanced version of Gemini with Deep Think achieved gold-medal performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad by perfectly solving five out of six problems, scoring a total of 35 points. This marks a significant improvement over the previous year, as the model now operates end-to-end in natural language, producing rigorous mathematical proofs within the competition's time limit. Google DeepMind aims to further enhance AI's capabilities in mathematics through ongoing collaborations and research advancements.
