BERT's official source code is maintained under the 'google-research' GitHub organization (github.com/google-research/bert), not directly under the 'google' organization

Summary

BERT's canonical source code lives under Google's research GitHub org, not the main "google" org, which means anyone tracking the project, citing its repo, or setting up mirrors should point to google-research/bert as the authoritative location. This distinction matters because it signals BERT was a research artifact rather than a product-line release, and conflating the two orgs would send automation or contributors to the wrong (or nonexistent) repository.
