Nobel Winner John Jumper Is Leaving DeepMind for Anthropic

John Jumper, the Nobel laureate behind AlphaFold, is packing up his work at Google DeepMind and heading to Anthropic.

AlphaFold cracked protein folding in ways that changed how we understand biology and medicine. Jumper's move to a rival AI lab signals a shift in where the industry's brightest minds are going. He's not alone — big names are leaving DeepMind too.

Why this matters for us: The AI research that drives medical breakthroughs and shapes the tools we rely on is being reshaped by where these key players choose to invest their work.
