agi google openai anthropic deepmind ai-race discussion

Summary

A forum discussion speculating on which AI lab will achieve AGI first, referencing past predictions by Google, recent capabilities from OpenAI and Anthropic, and the competitive nature of DeepMind's Demis Hassabis.

There was a popular post back in November 2025 about how Google is likely to win the AI race. The OP of said post included an edit a couple weeks back to say that their opinion might have aged poorly in light of recent OpenAI and Antrophic capabilities. I'm not so quick to count Deepmind out considering Demis's absurdly competitive and passionate nature, but obviously one person alone cannot bring about AGI. I also recognize I'm deep inside Google's ecosystem - I actually used Bard a good deal when it released haha. I suppose we'll see where things stand after Gemini 3.5 Pro releases. Please comment your own thoughts on who will "win" the AI race and get us to AGI along with the reasoning behind why you think that. Interested in hearing from everyone! View Poll
