Noam Shazeer Leaves Google for OpenAI

Noam Shazeer 离开 Google 加入 OpenAI

Noam Shazeer has left Google and joined OpenAI. Google paid $2.7 billion to bring him back two years ago. The post doesn't disclose his role at OpenAI or when the move happened.

Why it matters: Transformer co-author, $2.7B rehire, now leaving again — all three HKR axes hit. The post doesn't say when he left, what he'll do at OpenAI, or the real impact on Gemini, so it's not a 95+. But the signal is strong enough for featured.
