诺贝尔奖得主John Jumper离开Google Deepmind加入Anthropic
阅读原文· the-decoder.com诺贝尔化学奖得主、AlphaFold团队负责人John Jumper在任职近9年后离开Google Deepmind，加入Anthropic。Jumper与Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis因开发AlphaFold共同获得2024年诺贝尔化学奖，Hassabis感谢二人的“非凡合作”。此前不久，Gemini联合负责人Noam Shazeer已离职加入OpenAI。几周内，Anthropic与OpenAI挖走谷歌两位核心研究者。Deepmind此前还失去了AlphaGo与AlphaZero负责人David Silver，他创办了专注于世界模型和强化学习的初创公司。另有内部传言称，计划6月底发布的Gemini 3.5 Pro可能无法与Anthropic和OpenAI的最新模型竞争。
Google Deepmind loses another top AI researcher as Nobel laureate John Jumper leaves for Anthropic
Google Deepmind is losing another high-profile researcher to a rival. Nobel Prize winner and AlphaFold team lead John Jumper jumped ship to Anthropic after nearly nine years. Jumper shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis for developing AlphaFold, an AI system that transformed protein structure prediction. Hassabis thanked Jumper for their "extraordinary partnership" and said AlphaFold had "changed the world."
The timing makes it worse. Shortly before, Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer left for OpenAI, one of the minds behind the reasoning approach powering Google's latest models. Within weeks, Anthropic and OpenAI poached two of Google's most important researchers. And before that, Deepmind lost David Silver, a lead researcher behind AlphaGo and AlphaZero, who left to start his own startup focused on world models and reinforcement learning.
Meanwhile, Gemini 3.5 Pro is reportedly set to launch in late June, but insider rumors suggest it won't be competitive with the latest models from Anthropic and OpenAI.
