Barret Zoph, a co-founder of artificial intelligence startup Thinking Machines Lab, will join ‌Alphabet-owned unit Google DeepMind, Zoph said on Wednesday.

Here are some details:

Zoph will join Google's DeepMind as Vice President of Research after serving as Vice President of Research ⁠at OpenAI.
Zoph made a brief return to his former employer, OpenAI, after leaving Thinking Machines earlier this year, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The move is the latest in a series of AI-driven reshuffles at the company, including DeepMind CEO Dennis Hassabis stepping aside this ‌month.
Zoph ⁠spent six years with Google as a research scientist in Google Brain, which was later merged with DeepMind to form Google DeepMind in 2023.
Alphabet's ⁠shakeup of the AI lab included a revelation during an all-hands meeting on August 6 that some ⁠teams were moving out of DeepMind and into corporate Google, Reuters reported earlier this ⁠month, citing two sources.
