FT: Google DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis was an early angel investor in Anthropic.
While Google later put billions into the same company through cloud and AI deals.
DeepMind diaspora is actually super strong: former researchers have built more than a dozen AI companies and raised at least $14B since 2021.
DeepMind has really become less like one company and more like an AI school whose graduates now compete with, supply, and pressure Google at the same time.
