The Death of Linear Research 🧠
Google just dropped TTD-DR, an AI research agent that doesn’t just regurgitate search results—it iterates like a human. No more rigid, one-shot answers. This thing drafts, revises, and fact-checks like a sleep-deprived grad student on their fifth coffee. And somehow, it’s better than OpenAI’s Deep Research. Of course, Google being Google, they had to shove in diffusion models and evolutionary algorithms to make it sound like rocket science. But the real magic? It’s the first AI that actually denoises its own bullshit.
Why This Matters (Besides the Obvious) 🔍
Enterprise research is a wasteland of half-baked reports and hallucinated stats. TTD-DR? It cross-examines itself, refines drafts, and—get this—learns from its own mistakes. That’s either revolutionary or the start of Skynet’s LinkedIn phase. Benchmarks show it crushing OpenAI by 7.7% in multi-hop reasoning. Translation: it’s better at connecting dots without making up facts. Imagine that—an AI that doesn’t confidently lie to you.
The Catch? It’s Still Google
Sure, it’s powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro (because of course it is), and yes, it’ll probably get stuffed into another overpriced enterprise suite. But if this actually ships without getting neutered by lawyers, it might just make corporate research less embarrassing. Now, if only it could fix Google’s search results.
