Google DeepMind is facing another high-profile talent hit: Bloomberg reports that Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel, two key contributors to Gemini, are planning to leave for Anthropic.
Their exits follow John Jumper’s move to Anthropic and Noam Shazeer’s move to OpenAI, adding pressure on Google in the AI talent war.
Startups like Anthropic and OpenAI can offer researchers a shot at major upside before a potential IPO.
For Google, the question is whether its massive research bench can offset the growing pull of frontier AI startups that now look like the place where top researchers can shape the next platform shift. Really curious for Google handling it.
Bloomberg reporting that two more leading AI names are due to leave Google for Anthropic: Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel, both viewed internally as key contributors to Google’s Gemini AI model.
