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.

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.

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!

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 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

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