Andrej Karpathy, a former Tesla TSLA-T<\/a> AI executive and one of OpenAI\u2019s founding members, has joined Anthropic, he said on Tuesday, strengthening the Claude maker as it looks to dominate the AI race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D,\u201d he said in an X post.<\/p>\n

Karpathy, a highly influential member of the AI community, played a key role in developing Tesla\u2019s self-driving and artificial intelligence technology before leaving the firm in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time,\u201d Karpathy, who announced in 2024 that he was starting an AI-integrated education platform named Eureka Labs, said on X.<\/p>\n

He has joined Anthropic\u2019s pretraining team, responsible for the large-scale training runs that give Claude its core knowledge and capabilities, according to Anthropic. He started work this week and sits on the team of Nick Joseph, the company\u2019s head of pretraining.<\/p>\n

Karpathy studied under prominent Stanford AI scientist Fei-Fei Li and joined OpenAI as one of its earliest staffers, before moving to Tesla.<\/p>\n

John Schulman, another OpenAI co-founder, left for Anthropic in 2024. The ChatGPT maker has seen a slew of executives leave the firm, including former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever and former tech chief Mira Murati, founder and CEO of AI startup Thinking Machines.<\/p>\n
