| Hey HN, Exodus tracks who's leaving the big AI companies, where they're going, and what they're building. 240+ moves, 80+ companies, every entry sourced. I used AI to track these after noticing the same pattern every week: someone leaves OpenAI, someone leaves Anthropic, a new startup appears, they get funded week later. A few things stood out: - Google/DeepMind lost 58 people and got 13 back
- OpenAI alumni founded 18 startups worth $450B+ (TechCrunch calls them "The OpenAI Mafia")
- Half of xAI's co-founding team walked out
- Apple feeds Meta, Meta feeds OpenAI — there's a whole food chain You can filter by company, role, seniority, or time period. There's a Sankey diagram and a brain drain chart. The curation pipeline uses the same system I run for https://7min.ai. Every entry is checked against published sources. Are we missing any patterns? |
