Yep. The people who build Imagen are researchers, not engineers, and these announcements are accompanied by papers describing the results as a means of sharing ideas/results with the academic community. Pretty weird to me how so many in this thread don't seem to remember that.
Google and Meta and Microsoft all have research teams working on AI.
Putting out papers like this helps keep their existing employees happy (since they get to take credit for their work) and helps attract other skilled employees as well.
