James Molloy

James Molloy co-led infrastructure for Gemini 1.0, a multimodal model family reported in 2023. His earlier work includes the 2019 Nature paper Grandmaster level in StarCraft II, which uses multi-agent reinforcement learning, and the 2021 arXiv preprint Automap. In 2024 he co-authored PartIR, a partitioning system for neural networks, and the Gemini 1.5 report.
