Shazeer joins from Google, where he pioneered mixture-of-experts scaling.
its over
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!
Many users praised Noam Shazeer's appointment as OpenAI architecture research lead as exciting news and a massive win for innovation and talent recruitment.

@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Amazing!!!!!
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Does he report to you or do you report to him?
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer What should we expect @grok?
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Oh well
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Did he come packaged with Jeff Dean?
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer bro they just collecting the whole transformer family at this point
anthropic, google, now this 💀 💀
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer ohh damn we could expect an AGI level model born from openai with noam help
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer architecture research is a great place to put him. once models are this capable, a lot of the wins are decoding, routing, memory, and tool use getting cheaper and more reliable.
Cool scoop! I was inspired by @NoamShazeer ‘s MoE research on scaling neural networks by executing sparse computations ie activating only a small subset of sub-networks (experts) per token rather than the entire model.
Actively applying this to @reppo ‘s datanet architecture where each datanet is a sub network.
Congrats @NoamShazeer
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Tell your boss to give us our 4o back. #keep4o
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Who is Noam Shazeer and why is he joining OpenAI?
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer moe and decoding efficiency are the only things keeping inference economics from collapsing into a black hole. hope the compute budget survives.
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer wtf?????
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Congrats🎉
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer I’m really glad that I didn’t create separate lists on X for Google and open AI devs and instead just created one big AI list that I could add everybody to because everyone keeps jumping ship lol
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer how AGI-pilled do you have to be to join OpenAI? from a scale of 0-100
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Congrats!!
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Transformers architect joining the AGI push feels like the right moveTransformers architect joining the AGI push feels like the right move
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer This is a shocker. Hmm.
@markchen90 @NoamShazeer Noam moving from Google to OpenAI is funny because talent is becoming the distribution channel. one architecture hire can move the whole market narrative
