I’m building a new team at @GoogleDeepMind to work on Open-Ended Discovery! We’re looking for strong Research Scientists and Research Engineers to help us push the frontier of autonomously discovering novel artifacts such as new knowledge, capabilities, or algorithms, in an…
We are happy to announce our @NeurIPSConf workshop on LLM evaluations! Mastering LLM evaluation is no longer optional -- it's fundamental to building reliable models. We'll tackle the field's most pressing evaluation challenges. For details: sites.google.com/corp/view/llm-…. 1/3
Application deadline is today!
🧪🔬 Synthesis experts! Our team at Google DeepMind is hiring a scientist to establish and lead an AI-driven laboratory for materials discovery. The team is working to combine our AI capabilities with automated experimentation to discover novel functional materials. 1/
Exciting and unique opportunity in our team at @GoogleDeepMind: we're hiring a laboratory scientist to build out a materials-synthesis lab 🧪 This lab will be a key part of our roadmap for training AI models capable of real-world materials discovery 🔁 job-boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/…
It's worth noting that a DeepThink system with no access to this corpus also got gold (again according to the official graders), with exactly the same score.
Our IMO gold model is not just an "experimental reasoning" model. It is way more general purpose than anyone would have expected. This general deep think model is going to be shipped so stay tuned! 🔥
So happy to see this incredible achievement. Huge congrats to @lmthang, @quocleix, @YiTayML and the IMO team on the result. This was a great collaboration across teams to build a general Gemini DeepThink model that can also get gold at IMO.
RL and search working on open-ended problems is incredibly exciting! In some sense, IMO is just a teaser but nevertheless a perfect testbed for these techniques. Very excited about how the frontier is going to be pushed in all the non-verifiable domain in the upcoming months.
We achieved this year’s impressive result using an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think (an enhanced reasoning mode for complex problems). Our model operated end-to-end in natural language, producing rigorous mathematical proofs directly from the official problem descriptions –…
🥇🥇🥇 :)
From Silver to Gold🥇 Our advanced version of Gemini Deep Think has achieved the gold-medal standard at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad. It perfectly solved 5/6 problems in natural language with no expert intervention and that too within 4.5 hours!
LLMs for IMO 2025: gemini-2.5-pro (31.55%), o3 high (16.67%), Grok 4 (11.90%). matharena.ai

Sharing this very unique materials science role with @GoogleDeepMind. They are looking specifically for someone to build a materials lab with them from the ground up. Time is short, deadline to apply in Jul 22! "We are seeking an exceptional and highly motivated expert in…
This is one of our coolest projects! And a chance to work with a great multidisciplinary team :)
🚨 Our team at GDM is hiring a research engineer to work on topics around RL, post-training + materials science! Role is based in Mountain View. DMs open if you have questions.
