I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis 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. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/john-jumper-leaves-google-to-join-anthropic", "canonical_source": "https://twitter.com/JohnJumperSci/status/2068001285173834106", "published_at": "2026-06-19 17:53:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-19 18:07:56.774563+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-research", "ai-safety"], "entities": ["John Jumper", "Google DeepMind", "Anthropic", "Demis Hassabis", "AlphaFold"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/john-jumper-leaves-google-to-join-anthropic", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/john-jumper-leaves-google-to-join-anthropic.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/john-jumper-leaves-google-to-join-anthropic.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/john-jumper-leaves-google-to-join-anthropic.jsonld"}}
