Alphabet suffered its steepest one-day stock decline in more than a year on Monday, with shares falling about 5% as investor concerns grew over artificial intelligence competition and the loss of key talent.

According to the report, the latest setback followed the departure of Noam Shazeer, a vice president of engineering and co-lead of Google’s Gemini AI models, who left to join OpenAI. Days later, DeepMind executive and Nobel Prize winner John Jumper also announced his exit to rival AI firm Anthropic.

The report said the departures raised fresh questions about Google’s ability to retain top AI researchers despite significant investments in the sector. Alphabet has reportedly raised about $141 billion through debt and equity since October to support its AI expansion efforts.

Investor sentiment was also affected by comments from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who suggested AI models could become increasingly commoditized.

Adding to concerns, some users reported outages on Gmail and YouTube, further weighing on market confidence in the tech giant.
