Google's Internal 'Agent Smith' Is So Popular With Employees That Access Had to Be Restricted

It doesn’t wear a suit. It doesn’t take breaks. And it just got too popular to let everyone use. Business Insider reported this week that Google has been quietly running an internal autonomous coding tool called Agent Smith — and it’s been causing quite a stir inside the Googleplex. The tool became so heavily used that Google had to restrict access just to keep up with demand. The name is almost certainly a Matrix reference, which either says something about Google’s sense of humor or its appetite for irony when naming the autonomous agent that’s here to change how software gets built. ...

Google DeepMind's Aletheia: The AI Agent That Solves Real Mathematical Research

Winning a math olympiad is impressive. Doing original mathematical research — navigating thousands of papers, formulating novel conjectures, constructing long-horizon proofs — is something else entirely. Until recently, that gap separated AI benchmarks from actual scientific contribution. Google DeepMind’s Aletheia is the first system to credibly cross it. Deployed in December 2025 against a database of 700 open mathematical problems, Aletheia autonomously solved four open Erdős problems — longstanding conjectures that professional mathematicians had left unresolved. It didn’t just compute answers; it generated, verified, and revised proofs in natural language, with results that have contributed to peer-reviewed publications. ...
