Merged summary
TL;DR — Google is pulling AI decision-making from London back to its Mountain View headquarters, handing Google DeepMind's day-to-day operations to Koray Kavukcuoglu while Demis Hassabis shifts to a long-horizon research role, and is reportedly negotiating a $1.5B+ deal for startup Mechanize's coding technology and talent. It signals that Google now treats cross-Atlantic coordination lag and its AI-coding weakness as urgent bottlenecks in the race with OpenAI and Anthropic.
- Post-training centralization: The Gemini post-training teams — responsible for final model tuning before release — are being consolidated at the California HQ, ending a structure that spanned 8 time zones and hundreds of internal chat groups since the 2023 Brain/DeepMind merger.
- Leadership reshuffle: Hassabis becomes DeepMind chairman and Alphabet Chief Scientist (long-term research, AGI strategy, Isomorphic Labs); Kavukcuoglu — already relocated from London in 2025 as Chief AI Architect/SVP — runs GDM operations reporting to Sundar Pichai, with Sergey Brin monitoring progress on-site.
- Mechanize deal: Reportedly a non-exclusive technology license plus acqui-hire of core staff for over $1.5B, aimed at AI coding, where Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor lead despite Google owning Gemini, TPUs, Cloud, and developer distribution. Mechanize was founded by Tamay Besiroglu (also Epoch AI), Matthew Barnett, and Ege Erdil.
- Sourcing caveat: Reporting traces to Bloomberg, The Information, and Business Insider; the Mechanize deal is described as under negotiation, not closed.
Note on sources: Only the 量子位 item covers this work. The second summary (生信技能树) is an unrelated WeChat bioinformatics tutorial on reproducing a Nature Cell Biology primate-embryo HOX figure in R, and contributes nothing to this topic — it appears to have been mis-grouped.

TL;DR - A WeChat bioinformatics tutorial showing how to use an AI assistant (with a custom "xinye-plot" plotting skill) to reproduce Figure 2d of a 2026 Nature Cell Biology primate embryo spatial-transcriptomics paper — a ridgeline + heatmap combo of HOX expression along the anterior–posterior axis. It matters as a concrete example of LLM-assisted scientific figure reproduction from published source data.
- Source figure comes from a CS9 macaque embryo Stereo-seq dataset (10 near-midline sagittal sections, bin50 ≈ 25 μm, 35,568 QC-passed spots); after 3D reconstruction, bins were ranked by Euclidean distance from an anterior reference point and binned into 100 A–P layers, then averaged per HOX gene.
- Plotted data is the paper's own source file (
..._source_data_fig2.xlsx, sheet "Panel d": 31 HOX genes × AP_1–AP_100); raw sequencing is deposited at CNGBdb under CNP0007017 — not GSE193007. - Biological reading: anterior HOX genes (HOXA1, HOXB1, HOXB2) show broad A–P coverage, while central/posterior genes (HOXA7/A9, HOXB9, HOXC10, HOXD13) peak progressively posteriorly and more narrowly, supporting progressive axial regionalization; HOXA10/A11/A13 also appear in the allantois.
- Reproduction uses R (readxl, ggplot2, ggridges, patchwork, cowplot, scales): per-gene min–max normalization for ridge height only,
smooth.spline(spar 0.45) plus a cubic Hermite tail extension for display,geom_ridgelinewith a manual palette, and a row z-scoredgeom_tileheatmap with a diverging blue–white–red scale (limits ±4, squished).
