I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there.

It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you.

google paid $2.7b to acquire him in 24 & couldn’t hold him 18mo later.

We offer no explanation as to why Noams are so good at AI; we attribute their success, as all else, to divine benevolence.

Noam Brown@polynoamial

I'm always thrilled to have more Noams at @OpenAI, but I'm especially thrilled to welcome @NoamShazeer!

Noam Shazeer, the AI legend Google paid $2.7B to bring back two years ago, has left Google, to join OpenAI.

Brutal news for Gemini.

Noam Shazeer - co-author of the Transformer, T5, and Switch Transformer papers, and one of the pioneers of sparse MoE models - is leaving his VP Engineering / Gemini co-lead role at Google DeepMind to join OpenAI

This is likely the most significant AI talent move of the year.

It makes you wonder what’s going on at Google

Very excited to welcome @NoamShazeer to OpenAI as our new lead for architecture research! His work on transformers, MoE, and efficient decoding have shaped modern AI.

He’s extremely AGI-pilled and is super thoughtful about making it all go well. Welcome, Noam!

Noam’s leaving Google makes Gemini’s future feel uncertain.

More than one DeepMind person has told me Noam saved Gemini. There’s even lore that he tweaked a few lines of training code and Gemini’s quality instantly jumped.

Gemini’s coding ability still feels behind. I really hope Gemini can find its way back to its former glory. We need more model choices.

believe it or not, but Anthropic, OpenAI and Google are all in different categories now

Anthropic > OpenAI >> Google, SpaceX AI, DeepSeek, Moonshot, ZAI, Meta

Huge!

It’s amazing how often Noam’s papers end up at the center of the field. In many tutorial videos I’ve made, they’ve been a recurring foundation for explaining key ideas. GOAT!
