Noam Shazeer, OpenAI 합류

Noam Shazeer, co-creator of Transformer architecture and core innovator behind modern LLMs, has joined OpenAI after departing from Google's Gemini leadership. This move reflects fierce competition among AI labs for top talent and suggests strategic differences in LLM development philosophy. His departure—despite Google's $2.7B Character.AI acquisition to retain him—signals that technical autonomy and product vision matter more to leading AI researchers than compensation alone.
