Really?? And not BrinRank?

Larry designed the algorithm and Brin implemented it. Not so different than what we saw with transformers and LLMs. The people who came up wit the ideas and the algorithms were joined by others who implemented them. Together they made it all work.

There's no credible reference to this. The most likely scenario is that they worked together in designing the system. They also credited their professors, Motwani and Winograd, for it.

Perhaps the second half of the word referred to Brin, after his smell after coding it for a week nonstop. Only a silly hypothesis of course.
