Google DeepMind researcher John Jumper, a recent Nobel laureate recognized for his work on protein structure prediction, has departed the company to join Anthropic. This exit follows the recent resignations of other high-profile Google AI leads, including Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer and AlphaGo researcher David Silver.
