June 22, 2026

By Eli Collins | VP Product, Google DeepMind

 

Today, Google DeepMind and A24 are announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership focused on research. The collaboration pairs a world-leading research lab with the industry’s most filmmaker-forward studio to help artists develop new workflows and techniques. This ensures the tools of the future are shaped by the creators who use them.

This partnership creates a deep research and development collaboration between A24 and Google DeepMind spanning multiple projects over time. By anchoring Google DeepMind's innovations directly within the creative process, A24 and its filmmakers can help shape new technology in service of their vision and expand their storytelling possibilities. This hands-on collaboration provides Google DeepMind with invaluable feedback and guidance from leading artists. In addition, Google has made an investment in A24.

Looking ahead, the partnership represents the beginning of a collaborative journey, one rooted in research and shared curiosity. While the initial focus is on bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and next generation entertainment, the specific goals, technical outputs and creative milestones of this initiative will evolve over time. As A24 and Google DeepMind’s researchers work side-by-side to test, iterate and build, this partnership aims to expand what is possible in the future of entertainment.

Google Announces Its Social Networking Service Google+ Has Seen A 37% Increase In Users Since May - 29th October 2013

Google has announced a major boost to the amount of people subscribing to its social network Google +. The tech giant revealed Tuesday that it has seen a 37 percent jump in users in recent months.

Vic Gundotra, head of social at Google said the Google+ network has seen 300 million monthly active users, a jump from 190 million from back in May.

According to the company, Google+ members who have interacted socially with any of Google's services in the past 20 days total 540 million, up from 390 million in May. The company is also uploading 1.5 billion photos per week, a number that is increasing at, what Gundorta says is "an amazing rate."

USA Today reports that Google did not say how many of those photos are being shared on Google+, but Bradley Horowitz, vice president of product management at Google+ said it was a significantly large number.

The company's social network has struggled since its launch in 2011, to keep users actually using the site's functions and doing more than simply signing up for an account that remains inactive. The initial hope for Google+ was to build as loyal of a fan base as sites like Facebook, which has an audience that is willing to grow with its innovations and ideas.

As USA Today points out, the site is much more than simply a method for becoming the world's biggest social network. Google+ is also an important tool the company uses to verify and authenticate users across all of its devices and services such as GMail and YouTube.

"Both missions are harmonized," Horowitz added. Google+ creates a social layer that provides a "coherent notion of a person"

The company took the boom in users to unveil some of the new features it's implementing to make photo and video sharing easier on the site.
