Dario Amodei Hires OpenAI Co-Founder Andrej Karpathy in Major Talent Win

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has lauded Karpathy, who formerly led Tesla's Autopilot division, as "the #2 guy in computer vision" behind Ilya Sutskever.

The latest barb in the intensifying rivalry between OpenAI and Anthropic: Dario Amodei’s hiring of Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI and former head of Tesla’s self-driving unit. Karpathy has joined Anthropic’s pretraining team, he announced on X yesterday (May 19). “I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative,” he wrote. “I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D.”
