> But when you publish a paper on Monarch, aren't you giving away the core idea?

The thing is Monarch is not the secret sauce that makes Google money. Every other company in the world could be running monarch, and Google revenue and market position would not be affected.

Publicizing this is a win-win situation. The idea gets exposure and potentially other devs can be benefit, and Google gets some good PR as a place where devs get to work on cool stuff.
