Demis Hassabis, DeepMind's co-founder, is stepping down as CEO to become Chairman and Chief Scientist of Alphabet, handing daily operations to CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu, who becomes Senior Vice President reporting directly to Pichai and will oversee Gemini development.\n\nIn a separate but simultaneous move, Jeff Dean, Google's chief scientist of 27 years, is leaving to co-found Discovery Loop, a public-benefit corporation aimed at automating machine learning and scientific research, alongside Senior Fellow Sanjay Ghemawat and Gemini co-lead Oriol Vinyals. Google will be a founding investor and cloud partner in the new venture.\n\nThe shake-up follows a rocky stretch for DeepMind: Gemini 3.5 Pro's launch has slipped months behind schedule, and researchers Noam Shazeer and John Jumper have already left for OpenAI and Anthropic respectively. Alphabet shares fell about 5% on the news as investors weighed the leadership exodus against the company's AI ambitions. Hassabis said he wants to focus on \"actively shaping the future of AGI\" and will remain CEO of Isomorphic Labs, DeepMind's drug-discovery spinoff."}}
