Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan
Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community.
After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini.
Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days.
Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
Question

Hey fellas,
Thought it was time to boost that post count of mine. :D
I usually can figure out just about anything tech-wise. If I can't, I come here (or occasionally other sites) and usually find the answer.
But this one has got me and I just can't find an answer anywhere, so I need to ask. Help me out, boys (and girls), please.
The following programs will 'Print' to OneNote using the Send to OneNote 2010 printer:
Notepad, Foxit Reader, Photoshop, Powerpoint 2010, Publisher 2010, Windows Photo Viewer, Internet Explorer
The following programs will not 'Print' to OneNote using the Send to OneNote 2010 printer:
Wordpad, Firefox, Word 2010, Excel 2010 (returns a printer error), Access 2010 (returns a printer error), Visio 2010 (returns a 607 queueing error)
I can find ways round the issue and it's not the end of the world but...
It annoys me, and I want to know why it's doing this.
TIA
OB
btw: FYI - I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64bit; full Office 2010 suite 64bit (if it helps)
