Julian Schrittwieser

Also known as Mononofu

Julian Schrittwieser is an AI researcher at Anthropic, where he joined in 2024 after leaving Google DeepMind. At DeepMind, he and his team built AlphaGo Zero, which defeated AlphaGo 100 games to zero in October 2017. The Innovators Under 35 list honored him in 2018. A 2020 Nature paper that presents MuZero lists him as a co-author. AlphaProof, whose system solved three of five non-geometry problems at the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad, appears in a paper he co-authored.
