Google DeepMind Has Reportedly Assembled an A-Team to Take on Anthropic’s AI Coding Prowess
Coding seems to be the flavour of the month for artificial intelligence (AI) companies. Recently, OpenAI increased its focus on its coding platform Codex, and now Google appears to be shifting its focus as well. As per a report, the Mountain View-based tech giant's DeepMind division has created a specialised team that has been tasked with building AI models focused on coding. The aim is, reportedly, to close the gap between the company and Anthropic and is likely to secure a larger share of the lucrative high-ticket enterprise revenue.

Google rolls out Gemini in Chrome in 7 new countries
Google announced Monday that it’s making its Gemini in Chrome feature available in seven new markets, including Australia, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. The company is rolling this feature out to both desktop and iOS in all of these countries except Japan. The company has been integrating AI and Gemini into Chrome in more ways since last year through a floating window. Earlier this year, the company introduced a sidebar-based assistant that would help users answer questions across tabs and utilize the Personal Intelligence feature of Gemini, which lets users connect to services like Gmail and Google Photos, for personalized answers. Users can also schedule meetings with Calendar, check location details with Maps, and draft and send emails with Gmail through this feature in Chrome. Users can also transform images on the web using Nano Banana 2 in the sidebar. Gemini in Chrome was available to U.S.-based users through the January launch, and the company expanded the availability toIndia, Canada, and New Zealandin March. With this launch, Gemini in Chrome is available in more countries. However, the company’s agentic feature, which can control your browser window to complete tasks on your behalf, is in testing and only available to users of AI Pro and AI Ultra paid plans in the U.S.

Anthropic takes $5B from Amazon and pledges $100B in cloud spending in return
Anthropicannouncedon Monday that Amazon has agreed to invest a fresh $5 billion, bringing Amazon’s total investment in the company to $13 billion. Anthropic, for its part, has agreed to spend over $100 billion on AWS over the next 10 years, obtaining up to 5 GW of new computing capacity to train and run Claude. The deal echoes an agreement Amazon struck with OpenAI just two months ago, when it joined a$110 billion funding round— contributing $50 billion — that valued the ChatGPT maker at a $730 billion pre-money valuation. That deal, too, was structured partly as cloud infrastructure services rather than straight cash. At the heart of this deal is Amazon’s custom chips: Graviton (a low-power CPU) and Trainium (an Nvidia competitor and AI accelerator chip). The Anthropic deal specifically covers Trainium2 through Trainium4 chips, even though Trainium4 chips are not currently available. The latest chip, Trainium3, was released in December. On top of that, Anthropic has secured the option to buy capacity on future Amazon chips as they become available. We’ll see if this news is a teaser to Anthropic announcing a new funding round. VCs have reportedly been offering the AI company capital in a deal that wouldvalue it at $800 billionor more.

It’s not just one thing — it’s another thing
Sometimes, things are not just one thing — they’re also another thing. This sentence construction (“It’s not just this — it’s that”) has become so common in AI-generated writing that now, it’s no longer just a clue that a piece of writing may be synthetic — it’s almost a guarantee. That’s why, I was not just intrigued when I sawa Barron’s reportabout how this sentence construction has dramatically increased in corporate communications — I was deeply amused. The report didn’t just remark on the prevalence of this phrasing in corporate communications — it scanned the market intelligence firm AlphaSense’s database to find how often this phrasing was used in corporate news releases, earnings reports, and government filings. According to Barron’s, this sentence construction isn’t just a quirk of corporate communications — it’s an epidemic, more than quadrupling from about 50 mentions in 2023, to over 200 uses in 2025. It’s not just the data that tells us this — I also found some examples from the past year: It’s not just coincidental that generative AI tools use this phrase a lot — it’s a reflection of our writing, which these tools were trained on (without our permission, might I add, which is not just insulting to writers — it’s a violation). And it’s not just this sentence construction — it’s also em-dashes that are now considered a tell for AI-generated text. This isn’t just a funny trend — it’s symbolic of how reliant these companies have become on AI (though we cannot say for certain if the above missives were AI-assisted). So next time you see a sentence like that, remember that it’s not just a catchy construction — it might be a symptom of something greater.
