From the blog:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00663

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.13173

Is there any other company that's openly publishing their research on AI at this level? Google should get a lot of credit for this.

Every Google publication goes through multiple review. If anyone thinks the publication is a competitor risk it gets squashed.

It's very likely no one is using this architecture at Google for any production work loads. There are a lot of student researchers doing fun proof of concept papers, they're allowed to publish because it's good PR and it's good for their careers.

Underrated comment, IMHO. There is such a gulf between what Google does on its own part, and the papers and source code they publish, that I always think about their motivations before I read or adopt it. Think Borg vs. Kubernetes, Stubby vs. gRPC.

The amazing thing about this is the first author has published multiple high-impact papers with Google Research VPs! And he is just a 2nd-year PhD student. Very few L7/L8 RS/SWEs can even do this.

I mean, they did publish the word2vec and transformers papers, which are both of major significance to the development of LLMs.

Something that Google, in hindsight, regrets.
