🚨 Google just lost 4 top AI researchers in one week, and the reasons go deeper than money.
→ Noam Shazeer (at Google since 2000) left for OpenAI
→ Nobel Prize winner John Jumper left DeepMind for Anthropic
→ Now Gemini researchers Jonas Adler & Alexander Pritzel are heading to Anthropic too
This isn't random. OpenAI and Anthropic are both preparing for IPOs, and pre IPO equity is a rare payday even for well paid Big Tech employees.
Shazeer's exit came shortly after Google reassigned computing resources from his project to another team.
When top researchers can't get GPU access for their own work... they leave.
The real question is : does this signal a shift in where the most ambitious AI work is happening?
