David Luan, head of Amazon's artificial general intelligence lab, announced Tuesday on LinkedIn he will leave the company at the end of the week. Luan joined Amazon in December 2024 via an acqui-hire of his startup Adept and had overseen work including last year's Nova frontier model; his exit follows a reorganization placing the lab under Peter DeSantis. The departure comes amid an FTC probe into the Adept hiring.
