Transformer pioneer Noam Shazeer is leaving Google again, officially joining OpenAI
OpenAI announced to its staff this Wednesday that after joining, Shazeer will focus on finding a brand new foundational architecture for large models and driving the evolution of the Transformer architecture. Shazeer is one of the co-authors of Google's groundbreaking 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need" and was the tech lead for Google's Gemini model. He has previously joined and left Google twice, most recently returning from Character.AI to Google, and now he's making another exit to join OpenAI.
Why it matters: The departure of a pioneer of the Transformer architecture signifies an escalation in the competition for top talent in the AI industry, and it hints at a potential fundamental shift in the foundational architecture of the next generation of large models.
