Hey HN,

Exodus tracks who's leaving the big AI companies, where they're going, and what they're building. 240+ moves, 80+ companies, every entry sourced.

I used AI to track these after noticing the same pattern every week: someone leaves OpenAI, someone leaves Anthropic, a new startup appears, they get funded week later. A few things stood out:

- Google/DeepMind lost 58 people and got 13 back - OpenAI alumni founded 18 startups worth $450B+ (TechCrunch calls them "The OpenAI Mafia") - Half of xAI's co-founding team walked out - Apple feeds Meta, Meta feeds OpenAI — there's a whole food chain

You can filter by company, role, seniority, or time period. There's a Sankey diagram and a brain drain chart.

The curation pipeline uses the same system I run for https://7min.ai. Every entry is checked against published sources.

Are we missing any patterns?
