Just days after announcing his departure from Moonshot AI, teen Chinese artificial intelligence prodigy Nathan Chen Guangyu seems to have found his next destination.
On Tuesday, Arfur Grok, a widely-watched anonymous social media account that tracks AI talent movements in the US, posted that the former Moonshot AI researcher was joining Discovery Loop, an AI start-up founded by four former Google senior researchers including former chief scientist Jeff Dean.
Launched just two months ago, the start-up has quickly attracted industry attention due to its star-studded founding team as well as its ambitious mission: to automate scientific research with AI.
Discovery Loop has already recruited several star researchers from US big tech giants, including other former Google engineers. But at just 17 years old, Chen is likely to be one of its youngest members.
