Google Launches Internal AI Model ‘Goose’ to Help Staff Code
Business d'Or
World's leading magazine for CEOs, CFOs, investors, senior executives, business leaders, and high net-worth individuals.
Google is adding smart technology to many of its products. It’s also using this technology to make its business work better.
The company made a big computer program called Goose. Only employees can use it. Goose helps them create new stuff, like products. This information comes from papers inside Google to Insider.
The papers say that Goose is like a child of Gemini, another large language model. Goose learned from all the engineering knowledge Google has collected over 25 years, according to one of the papers.
“It can answer questions about Google’s own technologies, write code using our internal tools, and do new things like changing code when you ask in normal words,” says a summary of Goose inside Google.
How Google Uses Smart Technology to Work Better
Using AI inside Google might really help them work better. This could be important as Google tries to be more efficient. They’ve already cut lots of jobs in the past year and made changes to teams. Ruth Porat, who manages money at Google, suggested they were doing things like this during a recent meeting about earnings. She said they were finding ways to spend less money by using AI to make things simpler across the Alphabet.
An inside paper mentions that Goose is involved in a strategy to “use AI at every step of making new products.”
Goose seems to be ready for some employees to use already, but we’re not sure if it can do everything it’s meant to yet. One document mentions that Goose is expected to be the first large language model approved for general coding use inside Google.
