Key point
**Andrej Karpathy**, an OpenAI co-founding member, has joined Anthropic's **Claude pre-training** team.
Details
Andrej Karpathy, an OpenAI co-founding member and former Tesla AI Director, has joined Anthropic and will begin research on the Claude pre-training team.
He will take on pre-training work on the team led by Nick Joseph, and in particular plans to build a new team that accelerates pre-training research by leveraging the Claude models themselves. This is being interpreted as a strategy for Anthropic to pursue technical differentiation through AI-assisted research, rather than simply competing on compute resources.
As the talent race with OpenAI, Google, and others intensifies, Anthropic has recently continued an aggressive talent acquisition push, including recruiting CTO-level talent from major companies as ICs (Member of Technical Staff).
