Google DeepMind is Alphabet's AI research lab, formed from the 2023 merger of DeepMind and Google Brain, that develops the Gemini family of models.
Gemini models compete directly with OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude for frontier AI capability and are integrated across Google Search, Google Cloud and consumer products.
DeepMind does not sell products directly; its models generate revenue for parent Alphabet through Google Cloud API access, Gemini subscriptions and integration into Google's core products.

Foundation models and AI laboratories. The organizations actually building the AI models themselves, like the systems behind ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. This is the most crowded, fastest-moving layer of the AI economy right now.
