#2Wow - Google paid a couple billion dollars to bring Noam back. Really impressive by OAI if this reporting is accurate!

#3Surprised to not see more comments on this, especially given the popularity of the Anthropic/Karpathy article. What a win for OpenAI - and what a loss for Google, just 2 years after paying $2.7bn to bring Noam back into the fold. Does not bode well for Gemini long-term... Or could be a signal for how deeply they are leaning into world models.

#5This does suck for Google. Noam will take a lot of Google trade secrets with him to OpenAi. Google's bench is deeper than this one guy though.

#6Very bad news for Gemini - the brief comeback with 2.5 Pro last year looked to be driven by Noam

I think nobody they acquired from Character.AI is at Google anymore.

#10Wow. What could possibly have caused him to quit so soon after coming back?
I hope this is not accurate but I'm afraid it is: https://x.com/signulll/status/2067446889956430273
