    After successive departures of core researchers, Google reorganizes AI programming team to catch up with Anthropic

    据多位了解此次组织调整的知情人士透露,谷歌正对其不久前成立、主攻AI编程工具的专项攻坚小组进行重组,试图在商业价值最高的AI应用赛道追上Anthropic。知情人士表示,这支成立仅数月的攻坚小组将调整谷歌AI模型的训练思路,既要提升模型代码能力,也要强化其生成演示文稿等其他场景的能力。这一调整方向与Anthropic、OpenAI的布局不谋而合,两家企业均在将AI编程工具拓展至各类企业办公业务场景。本次调整除扩大攻坚小组的业务范围外,还将这支最初的临时团队架构予以正式固化。(新浪财经)
