Nobel Laureate John Jumper Leaves Google DeepMind for Anthropic, Deepening Google's AI Talent Drain
John Jumper -- the 2024 Nobel laureate who co-created AlphaFold -- is leaving Google DeepMind after nearly nine years to join rival Anthropic. The exit lands just days after Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer departed for OpenAI, turning a brutal week of poaching into the clearest sign yet that the AI race is now a talent war, and that Google's crown-jewel lab is the one bleeding.
