Details
Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI and former Tesla AI Director, has announced that he is joining Anthropic. He has spent the past two years focused on AI education through Eureka Labs, but will now return to research and development in Anthropic's pre-training unit under the leadership of Nick Joseph.
Karpathy is a figure who set major milestones in the AI field while leading at OpenAI (2015-2017) and Tesla's Autopilot team. He recently described a shift in software engineering and coined the term 'vibe-coding' to refer to agent-centric development.
This move is part of a broader trend of OpenAI alumni such as John Schulman moving to Anthropic. Karpathy explained that his reason for returning to research and development is that the next few years of research at the frontier of large language models (LLMs) will be crucial.
