I’m a documentary nerd and ‘The Thinking Game’ is my new favourite documentary. It has everything, fascinating subject matter, intriguing back story, underdog struggle, beautiful story telling, satisfying resolution… what more can you ask for! @demishassabis

‘The Thinking Game’ documentary has just passed 200M views on YouTube in just 4 weeks! 🤯Perfect holiday viewing if you’re interested in a behind-the-scenes look at how an AGI lab works, or what goes into making a Nobel Prize winning project like AlphaFold happen.🧬🚀

Wow!!! After 3.5 weeks The Thinking Game has 100 million views on YouTube. My interview with Hannah Fry is at 850k views on YouTube after 8 days. Plus the powerful Gemini 3 models, Nano Banana Pro, Veo, Antigravity... it's a very strong end to the year. 2026 is going to be 🚀

The popularity of The Thinking Game has easily exceeded even my most optimist predictions: 43 million views after only 16 days — and that's just on YouTube. Huge congrats to Greg Kohs, Gary Krieg and their team that spent many years interviewing us for the documentary material!
