量子位·2025-07-25 07:59Core Viewpoint - Google DeepMind is actively responding to competitive pressures, particularly from Meta, as it prepares for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2025, showcasing its team and achievements despite recent talent losses to competitors [2][3][4]. Group 1: Team Dynamics and Competitor Actions - Google recently won an IMO gold medal, but Meta quickly recruited three core team members from DeepMind [2][3]. - The DeepMind team, led by Thang Luong, publicly shared a team photo, which can be seen as both a response to Meta's actions and a display of confidence [3][4]. - Notably, the three individuals recruited by Meta were absent from the team photo, indicating a potential rift or shift in team dynamics [8][17]. Group 2: Preparation for IMO - In the lead-up to the IMO 2025, DeepMind's scientists gathered from various locations, including Mountain View, New York, and Singapore, to finalize their preparations [11]. - Thang Luong emphasized that the week leading up to the competition was crucial for achieving significant breakthroughs [11]. - The team integrated their previous research and methodologies to conduct an intensive training session, which was described as a "legendary" effort [10][11]. Group 3: Technical Achievements - The team completed the final training of the Gemini Deep Think model just two days before the IMO, achieving peak performance [13]. - The model demonstrated impressive capabilities not only in mathematical reasoning but also in code generation and other complex reasoning tasks [14]. Group 4: Key Team Members - The recently announced IMO gold medal team consists of 16 members, including four Chinese members, while the three who left for Meta are not included [17]. - Yi Tay, a co-leader of the Deep Think IMO team, has a strong background in major Google models and previously left to start a company but returned due to personal circumstances [21][25]. - Other notable team members include Quoc Le, a co-founder of Google Brain, and several researchers with prestigious academic backgrounds from institutions like MIT and Stanford [27][29][41].
