<p id="speakable-summary" class="wp-block-paragraph">John Jumper, who shared a recent Nobel Prize in chemistry, announced Friday that he’s making the leap to Anthropic after “nearly 9 years” at Google DeepMind.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/JohnJumperSci/status/2068001285173834106">a post on X</a>, Jumper wrote that DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis “took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jumper (pictured above right, with Hassabis) added, “GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bloomberg reports that Jumper was <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-19/nobel-winner-john-jumper-to-leave-google-deepmind-for-anthropic?embedded-checkout=true">a key member of Google’s team developing coding tools</a>, which the company has struggled to sell to businesses. Character AI co-founder Noam Shazeer also announced this week that <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/18/openai-is-bringing-on-some-big-guns-in-the-lead-up-to-its-ipo/">he’s leaving DeepMind</a> — though in Shazeer’s case, he’s joining OpenAI. </p>
