Cognizant 和 Google Cloud 成立了 Gemini 前沿能力小组，超过 18,000 名 Cognizant 员工专注于为客户在 Google 的 Gemini 平台上构建 AI 代理。该小组将专注于更新旧系统、开发者工具、业务流程自动化和网络防御。未披露财务条款。
Cognizant and Google Cloud have formed a Gemini Frontier Capability Group, with more than 18,000 Cognizant staff dedicated to building AI agents for clients on Google’s Gemini. It will focus on updating old systems, developer tools, business process automation and cyber defence. No financial terms were disclosed.
Cognizant 周一表示，该公司正将超过 18,000 名员工投入到为客户在 Google 的 Gemini 平台上构建 AI 代理的工作中。新成立的 Gemini 前沿能力小组是与 Google Cloud 达成的更广泛协议的一部分。
Cognizant is dedicating more than 18,000 staff to building AI agents for clients on Google’s Gemini, the IT services company said on Monday. The new Gemini Frontier Capability Group is part of a wider deal with Google Cloud.
该小组旨在帮助企业将 AI 代理从试点项目推广到日常使用。它将从四个领域着手：更新旧软件、开发者工具、自动化业务流程和网络防御。
The group aims to help companies move AI agents from pilot projects into daily use. It will start with four areas: updating old software, developer tools, automating business processes, and cyber defence.
两家公司称这是一项“实质性的联合投资”，但未透露财务条款。该小组建立在 Cognizant 于 4 月设立的 Gemini 实践之上。
The two firms called it a “substantial joint investment” but did not share financial terms. The group builds on a Gemini practice that Cognizant set up in April.
“成立我们专门的 Gemini 前沿能力小组，让我们最优秀的前沿工程人才能够全身心投入，为客户将前沿 AI 投入生产，”Cognizant 首席执行官 Ravi Kumar S 表示。
“Establishing our dedicated Gemini Frontier Capability Group lets our best frontier engineering talent focus entirely on getting frontier AI into production for clients,” said Ravi Kumar S, Cognizant’s chief executive.
Cognizant 表示，超过 55,000 名员工已完成与 Google Cloud 合作的 Gemini 培训工作坊，这是目前规模最大的此类培训。公司还计划在今年向其 100,000 名员工推广 Gemini，目标是达到 200,000 人。截至 6 月底，公司员工总数约为 357,000 人。
Cognizant said more than 55,000 of its staff have completed a Gemini training workshop with Google Cloud, which it called the largest of its kind so far. It is also rolling out Gemini to 100,000 of its own employees this year, with plans to reach 200,000. The company had about 357,000 staff at the end of June.
例如，Cognizant 表示，它曾帮助一家未具名的零售商通过使用 Gemini 将开发者生产力提高了 40%，并将成本降低了 35%。这些数据尚未经过独立核查。
As an example, Cognizant said it helped an unnamed retailer raise developer productivity by 40% and cut costs by 35% using Gemini. The figures have not been independently checked.
Google 一直在积极争取咨询公司来销售其 AI。4 月，它设立了 7.5 亿美元的合作伙伴基金，以帮助这些公司在 Google Cloud 上构建 AI 代理。9 月，Accenture 与 Google 成立了一个最多包含 1,000 名工程师的团队，以在客户公司内部部署 Gemini。
Google has been courting consulting firms to sell its AI. In April, it set up a $750M partner fund to help them build agents on Google Cloud. In September, Accenture and Google formed a unit of up to 1,000 engineers to install Gemini inside client companies.
Cognizant并未绑定于单一AI供应商。它也是四月份首批加入OpenAI Codex合作伙伴计划的公司之一。竞争对手也在采取类似举措，塔塔咨询服务公司计划将多达8,900名员工重新培训为AI部署工程师。
Cognizant is not tied to one AI provider, though. It was also among the first firms to join OpenAI’s Codex partner programme in April. Rivals are making similar moves, with TCS planning to retrain up to 8,900 staff as AI deployment engineers.
