AI Talent and Research Shifts: DeepMind Dismantles AlphaFold, Jumper to Anthropic

Google DeepMind dismantles the AlphaFold team, moving John Jumper to LLM coding. Jumper then quits to join Anthropic, underscoring the talent war between labs and big tech. The move signals Google's shift away from foundational science toward product-driven AI. Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence also raises $5B from Nvidia at $32B valuation with no product, highlighting extreme capital concentration around top AI researchers and validating safety-first AI approach.
