AI Headline Hub’s reporting on Google and DeepMind: Hassabis’s AGI estimate, a microVM preview for agents, and OpenAI models on Google Cloud.
This page groups AI Headline Hub’s stories about Google and DeepMind. It is an index. A claim is sourced on the story itself.
The files are Demis Hassabis’s interview estimate of two to three years for AGI, Google Cloud’s Agent Compute Engine preview, and the plan to offer OpenAI frontier models and Codex on Google Cloud.
What does AGI mean? lines up published definitions, including a DeepMind paper. What is an AI agent? and What is a large language model? are the neighboring labels.
In a Wall Street Journal profile, Demis Hassabis says he expects AGI in two to three years, nearer than the three-to-five-year view he held earlier in 2026.
Google Cloud says Agent Compute Engine will give agents hardware-isolated microVMs. The service is a preview planned for the coming months, not a launch today.
OpenAI and Google Cloud will put frontier models and Codex in Model Garden, sold on the Marketplace. Microsoft remains OpenAI’s primary cloud partner.

What labs mean by an AI agent. Anthropic separates fixed workflows from systems that choose their own steps, and recent product posts use the word differently.
