Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated

Google says 75% of its new code is now generated by AI and reviewed by engineers, a sharp rise from roughly 25% in October 2024 and about 50% last fall. Management is pushing staff to adopt AI tools and “agentic workflows,” with engineers using Google’s Gemini models (and some DeepMind staff permitted to use Anthropic’s Claude Code). CEO Sundar Pichai said a recent complex code migration finished six times faster with agents plus engineers than engineers alone. The shift implies material productivity gains for Google’s software development, could lower development costs and speed product delivery, and may be viewed positively by investors monitoring operational leverage and AI-driven efficiency at GOOG.OQ.
