Noam Shazeer, co-author of the Transformer, joins OpenAI

诺姆·沙齐尔加入OpenAI

Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is joining OpenAI, calling it a difficult decision and expressing pride in his work at Google. The post does not disclose his role, start date, or focus area.

Why it matters: A core Transformer author switching labs is an industry-level event — H and R are maxed out. But the post itself is thin on details (no role or direction given), so K is absent, keeping it below 90.
