Nobel laureate John Jumper is leaving DeepMind for rival Anthropic
John Jumper, who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on AlphaFold, is departing Google DeepMind for Anthropic, marking one of the most significant researcher departures the field has seen in recent years. The move signals continued competitive pressure on Google to retain top scientific talent as Anthropic positions itself as a serious research-led organization. Jumper is reportedly not alone among prominent names leaving DeepMind.
