Deepmind is heavily using Claude. This could help secure computing power.

I'm not up to date, I think. How so?

There's been a spat between some people on X, about how few engineers inside Google want to work with Gemini, given that it apparently is not great with code, and they would rather use Claude.

This same sentiment is there within Deepmind, except they have more power it seems. Perhaps Google is hedging their bet?
