π§ Jeff Dean Leaves Google After 27 Years to Co-Found Discovery Loop

He's joined by three other Google AI legends: Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, and Quoc Le. Google is backing the venture as a founding investor and Cloud partner, and the team plans to start with ML research automation before moving into drug discovery and clean energy.
