The irony, of course, with that, is that then Google/Alphabet like Microsoft eat its lunch in the space by poorly supporting The Broad and allowing Verily to sign a $150m deal with Azure. Quite a few of the folks who were working on HCLS products in Cloud (were you one of them?) subsequently departed for Verily.
- dekhn 3y agoI worked on the predecessor of HCLS and was pushed out before any Azure deal (and would never have moved to verily). I had set up a relationship between Google Research, the Broad, and Cloud (to apply large-scale Google ML technology in genomics) and all that went away when other folks took it in different strategic direction. The Broad is still a google cloud customer and verily seems to support all three clouds now, but I'm not aware of the details. The whole thing seemed really strange and unbusinesslike.
