DeepMind, which is headquartered in London, probably had a significant role in the development of the Gemini and Gemma models.

Yes, it might be a problem that the UK allows companies like this to be bought up by foreign countries.

Without Google’s funding its not obvious i DeepMind would have went anywhere.

Unless the moved to US for funding while keeping a back office in the UK.

It’s strange to expect anything significant to come out from Europe when VCs there are either very risk averse and/or don’t have enough cash to begin with. It’s not like government or EU funding can replace that since its almost always wasted or missdirected

		It’s a company containing such remarkable talent that I’m sure they would not have run into significant issues raising capital on international markets. It’s not like VCs are only allowed to invest in companies in their own country.
