AI Papers on arXiv with a Alphabet (Google) Author (Quarterly)

## What this measures

AI papers on arXiv in OpenAlex (primary topic in the Artificial Intelligence or Computer Vision subfield) with a publication date in the quarter and at least one author at Alphabet (Google) (OpenAlex institution I4210128969) or a unit under it. Dated at the start of the quarter.

## Why it matters

Company research output shows where AI labs are investing in publishable work; it shows up on the company's Palanor entity page.

## How to read it

The series starts in 2016 Q1 at 37. The latest reading, for 2026 Q3, is 126. The high is 336 (2021 Q2) and the low 30 (2016 Q3).

## What it does not say

OpenAlex links authors to institutions from the papers themselves and keeps adding links, so recent quarters rise as affiliations fill in. Labs that publish less on arXiv (or not at all) read low regardless of their research.
