Sharon Zhou leaves AMD to return to advanced AI research at Anthropic

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Sharon Zhou, former vice president of AI at AMD, has left the chipmaker to rejoin Anthropic, where she will resume research on frontier AI models. Zhou announced the move on X on the 5th and thanked AMD CEO Lisa Su and colleagues; she had joined AMD in June 2025 along with part of the team from Lamini, the AI startup she founded, and her role had reportedly been expanded to report directly to Su in 2026. The departure removes a senior research leader from AMD’s AI software and model efforts, while returning her to Anthropic, the developer of the Claude chatbot. The move matters as AMD works to close the gap with Nvidia in AI compute and as Anthropic deepens its bench of model researchers. What to watch next is how AMD backfills the role and whether Zhou’s return signals further talent shifts between chipmakers and frontier AI labs.
