“Which AI researchers moved between frontier labs since 2025? For each move list the researcher, the lab they left, where they went and the month.”
43 publicly reported lab-to-lab moves by 41 named researchers, January 2025 through October 7, 2026, each corroborated by at least two independent web hosts. This is a conservative public-reporting set, not an employer-record census: moves with only one discoverable source or unclear immediate prior employment were excluded.
Ribbon width = number of verified moves on the route. Hover a ribbon for the researchers behind it. Google is grouped with Google DeepMind and Meta FAIR/Meta AI/MSL under Meta; the detail table keeps original labels.
Verified moves per month. Months with no verified move are shown at zero. The month is when the hire was announced or reported if a precise start month was unavailable.

Data: 43 publicly reported lab-to-lab moves by 41 named researchers, Jan 2025 – Oct 7, 2026, compiled from news coverage and requiring corroboration on at least two independent web hosts; single-source or ambiguous moves were excluded. “Hosts” counts independent corroborating hosts per move. Month is announcement/reporting month when start month was unavailable. One representative source link is shown per move; no single URL backs more than 7 of the 43 rows.
