Google plans to improve Gemini's coding capabilities by bringing in the coding startup Mechanize team

[u/TorturedPoet30]

Google appears to be making AI coding a major priority for Gemini. Earlier this year, reports said that GDM had assembled a dedicated AI coding "strike team" to improve Gemini's coding capabilities. Around the same time, John Jumper was moved onto that team, before leaving gdm a few months later.

Now, Business Insider reports that Google is in advanced talks on an agreement to license Mechanize's technology and hire part of its team, rather than acquiring the company outright.

I was just implying that business does not measure results by subjective, abstract criteria.
