- 17-year-old ex-Kimi researcher Nathan Chen reportedly joins Discovery Loop
On October 20 the anonymous account Arfur Grok, which tracks Silicon Valley AI talent moves, reported that 17-year-old researcher Chen Guangyu (Nathan Chen) had joined Discovery Loop, the startup founded by former Google researchers including Jeff Dean. Chen had announced on October 15 that he was leaving Moonshot AI, where he worked on the Kimi models, and he publicly denied speculation that he was joining Anthropic. Neither Chen nor Discovery Loop has confirmed the move, and Discovery Loop said it does not comment on personnel matters. Founded in August 2026 by four former Google researchers, Discovery Loop has released no public product and is reportedly seeking funding at about a $50 billion valuation, with the goal of using AI to propose hypotheses, design and run experiments and iterate on results.

On October 15, 17-year-old Nathan Chen announced on X that he had left Moonshot AI's Kimi team, calling the past year the best of his life so far. He joined in November 2025 as a 16-year-old intern and is a co-first author of the Attention Residuals paper, work that reports say is used in the Kimi K3 architecture. Anthropic researcher Sholto Douglas invited him to San Francisco in the comments, and Chen replied that he is heading to the Bay Area, but when asked whether he was joining Anthropic he answered "no"; his next employer, role and start date remain unknown. DoNews headlined the move as an Anthropic poaching, which conflicts with Chen's own denial.
