Google DeepMind Signs Up 16 Asia-Pacific Groups For Its AI Tools

Google DeepMind Signs Up 16 Asia-Pacific Groups For Its AI Tools

The three-month program opens with a Singapore bootcamp this week and gives recipients five of Google's own models, no cash figure disclosed.

  • India supplies four of the sixteen groups, the largest national bloc in the cohort.
  • Categories split three ways: six on nature and climate resilience, five each on farming and carbon.
  • Models on offer include AnthroKrishi, ForestCast, AlphaEarth Foundations, SpeciesNet and Perch, all built by Google.

Why it matters: No price tag appears because software access is the payment: the sixteen groups now run on Google's stack.
