And they look for impact as well as the scientific breakthrough impact in the real world.
And that can take 20, 30 years to arrive.
So you just never know how soon it's going to be and whether it's going to be at all.
So it's a surprise.
Well, we sort of see DeepMind now and Google DeepMind as it's become.
We sort of merged a couple of years back all of the different AI efforts across Google and Alphabet, including DeepMind, put it all together, kind of bringing the strengths of all the different groups together into one division.
And really, the way I describe it now is that we're the engine room of the whole of Google and the whole of Alphabet.
So Gemini, our main model that we're building, but also many of the other models that we also build, the video models and interactive world models, we plug them in all across Google now.
So pretty much every product, every surface area has one of our AI models in it.
So billions of people now interact with Gemini models, whether that's through AI Overview, AI Mode, or the Gemini app.
And that's just the beginning, you know, we're kind of incorporating into workspace, into Gmail and so on.
So it's a fantastic opportunity really for us to do cutting edge research, but then immediately ship it to billions of users.
Yeah, there's around 5,000 people in my org, in Google DeepMind.
And it's predominantly, I guess, 80% plus engineers and PhD researchers.
So yeah, about 3,000 or 4,000.
Yeah, we can watch it.
Sure.
Yeah, so all of these videos, all these interactive worlds that you're seeing, so you're seeing someone actually can control the video.
It's not a static video.
It's just being generated by a text prompt.
