The Thinking Game documentary has skyrocketed past 200M views on YouTube in just four weeks, offering an unprecedented behind-the-scenes glimpse into Google DeepMind's pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and breakthroughs like the Nobel Prize-winning AlphaFold.

Filmed over five years by the award-winning AlphaGo team, this Tribeca Film Festival selection chronicles Demis Hassabis's journey from mastering complex strategy games via reinforcement learning to cracking the 50-year protein folding problem—a cornerstone for advancing AI models in biology and drug discovery. Viewers gain technical insights into DeepMind's rigorous scientific process, including scaling reasoning agents from game benchmarks like Go to real-world challenges in protein structure prediction, highlighting the fusion of neuroscience-inspired algorithms and massive compute power.

Key takeaways include how DeepMind transitioned from human-data-trained systems to self-improving algorithms that outperformed experts, paving the way for AGI milestones. Watch the full documentary [1] for a masterclass in AI lab dynamics and innovation.

Unlock the future of intelligence—one thinking game at a time.
