Dario Amodei’s recent hiring of former OpenAI co‑founder and ex‑Tesla Autopilot director Andrej Karpathy marks a major talent win for Anthropic, as Karpathy joins the company’s pretraining team to help advance its large‑scale language model research. A Slovakian‑born Canadian who studied under AI pioneers such as Geoffrey Hinton and Fei‑Fei Li, Karpathy helped build OpenAI’s early GPT models, led Tesla’s self‑driving efforts for five years, and briefly ran the AI education startup Eureka Labs before returning to research. Elon Musk has praised Karpathy as “arguably the #2 guy in computer vision” behind OpenAI’s Ilya Sutskever. At Anthropic, Karpathy will report to head of pretraining Nick Joseph and focus on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research, underscoring the startup’s aggressive push to narrow the gap with OpenAI amid talks of a multibillion‑dollar funding round and rising revenues.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI and former head of Tesla’s Autopilot division, has joined Anthropic’s pre‑training team, a move announced on X on May 19 and hailed as a major talent win for the startup. Karpathy, who helped develop early GPT models, spent five years at Tesla, returned briefly to OpenAI, and in 2024 launched the AI‑education startup Eureka Labs before turning back to R&D at Anthropic. Elon Musk has praised Karpathy as “arguably the #2 guy in computer vision,” and his addition—along with other ex‑OpenAI staff such as Jan Leike and John Schulman—underscores Anthropic’s aggressive push to close the gap with OpenAI. The company is reportedly courting a $30 billion funding round that could value it at $900 billion, with a recent revenue run rate exceeding $30 billion, outpacing OpenAI’s $24 billion annualized revenue, and Karpathy will lead a team focused on using Claude to accelerate large‑scale pre‑training research.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Andrej Karpathy, an artificial‑intelligence researcher who co‑founded OpenAI before moving to Tesla as director of AI, announced on Tuesday that he is joining Anthropic to work on the company’s pre‑training team for its Claude models. In a post on X, Karpathy said the coming years will be “especially formative” for large language models and expressed excitement about returning to R&D. Anthropic said Karpathy will lead a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pre‑training research, helping the models acquire core knowledge and capabilities. His hire follows other high‑profile additions to Anthropic, such as former xAI founder Ross Nordeen, and comes amid an intensifying talent battle with OpenAI. Karpathy’s earlier work at OpenAI and Tesla was highlighted during the recent Musk‑v‑Altman trial, where Elon Musk described him as “arguably the #2 guy in the world in computer vision.” Karpathy left Tesla in 2022, briefly returned to OpenAI, then founded AI‑education startup Eureka Labs, and holds a PhD in computer science from Stanford.
