Google in Talks for $1.5B+ Deal with AI Coding Startup Mechanize
Google is discussing a potential deal worth over $1.5 billion with AI coding startup Mechanize. The proposed structure would involve Google hiring some of Mechanize’s talent and securing a non-exclusive license to its technology, rather than buying the entire company. The recruited employees would reportedly work on AI model evaluation and development. This deal, if finalized, would help Google strengthen its coding capabilities and close its gap with competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic.10 sourcesSee all sources
