Hope Intrinsica will still have time for pic spam thread 2 formerly known as pic spam thread :D ... Wait - in fact, I have no doubt about that...

Rest assured, I will still find time to post the latest and greatest pictures. (Y)

Had to sign in to say this...but YAY!!!! 2 of my most favored people on neowin finally get what they've deserved for quite a long time! GREAT JOB, you two! :martini: :martini: :martini: :martini: :martini: :martini: :martini:

It's been a day for Neowin news for me. I had no idea people really read anything I wrote. The new position, as well as words of encouragement like yours, have opened my eyes. Thank you one and all. (Y) :D

You are more than welcome! I've always read just about everything you've written, which is why you are so deserving of Mod status. Goes to show, that even if you don't think someone's watching, there's always someone who is! ;) Keep up the pic spam good work! :p

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
