“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.”
The scan collected 81 publicly reported move records between frontier AI labs from January 2025 through October 2026 — a registry of press-reported moves, not a complete personnel database, and a person appears more than once if they changed labs more than once. 34 of the 81 records rest on a single independent public host and are flagged as lower confidence throughout.
Ribbon width is the number of move records on that route in the selected period. Left side: lab departed. Right side: lab joined. Hover or tap a ribbon to see the researchers behind it; records backed by a single public host are marked single-source in the tooltip.

Public-report registry of researcher moves between frontier AI labs (major labs plus research startups such as Thinking Machines Lab, Safe Superintelligence and Ineffable Intelligence), January 2025 – October 2026. 81 move records, one row per normalized researcher/from/to route; the month is the reported start month where available, otherwise the month the move was publicly reported. Each number of moves counts records, not unique people. “Sources” counts independent public hosts backing a record; 34 records with one host are flagged single-source. The registry does not claim completeness; near-duplicate lab names (Microsoft vs Microsoft AI) are kept as reported.
