John Jumper, recently honored with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has decided to leave Google DeepMind to join Anthropic. This announcement, made on Friday, marks the end of nearly nine years spent at Google's artificial intelligence research company.
In a message posted on X, Jumper expressed his gratitude to Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, for giving him the opportunity to lead the AlphaFold team just six months after earning his PhD. Jumper emphasized the importance of his experience at DeepMind, stating that the team taught him a great deal about conducting high-level scientific research.
According to Bloomberg, Jumper was a key member of Google's team responsible for developing coding tools, although the company faced challenges in commercializing them to businesses. His departure comes shortly after that of Noam Shazeer, co-founder of Character AI, who also left DeepMind to join OpenAI.
Jumper and Hassabis were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2024 for their contribution to the development of AlphaFold, an artificial intelligence model capable of predicting the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their genetic sequences.
