Google DeepMind Alums Forge $5M Algorithm Hive-mind, Bye Vibes

In a stealthy move straight outta Cambridge, UK, Hiverge—born from ex-Google DeepMind wizards Alhussein Fawzi (CEO), Hamza Fawzi (CSO), and Bernardino Romera-Paredes (CTO)—snagged a $5 million seed round in just 2-3 months. Their pitch deck buzzed about 'The Hive,' an AI algorithm factory that spits out code faster than you can say 'AlphaEvolve' (DeepMind’s undercover project these guys worked on). These brainiacs promise to beat engineers at their own game by automating smarter-than-human backend code improvements—no more vibes, just cold, hard, AI-crafted code. Investors? Oh, just Google’s chief scientist Jeff Dean and Flying Fish Ventures, likely startled by the rapid cash grab. Next up: making supply chain software run like a caffeinated squirrel.
