   “As announced on April 20, 2023, we brought together part of Google Research (the Brain team) and DeepMind to significantly accelerate our progress in artificial intelligence (AI).”

Google's official announcement dated 2023-04-20 says Google DeepMind will combine the Brain team from Google Research and DeepMind (E1). The same announcement says the combined team will be backed by Google's computational resources (E2). Alphabet's later SEC Form 10-K confirms that the Brain team and DeepMind were brought together as announced on April 20, 2023 (E3). It describes the Brain team as "part of Google Research", which is consistent with E1. Together, these sources meet the criteria for true: the official announcement shows both the merger and access to Google's resources.
