  Excited to welcome Andrej to the Pretraining team! He'll be building a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research itself. I can't think of anyone better suited to do it — looking forward to what we build together!

• @signulll @signulll on x

  this is like a leading franchise recruiting someone who's simultaneously the best player & the league's best broadcaster & its most watched developmental coach all in one.

• @andrewcurran_ Andrew Curran on x

  Karpathy will be forming a new pre-training team focused on Recursive Self Improvement and will be teaching Claude to improve Claude's training, reporting from Axios.

  @karpathy @sammcallister Excited to get to work with you again, Andrej!

  OH: “This is like LeBron James joining Michael Jordan and the Bulls.” Every other Frontier Lab: “Shit...”

  For my non-tech friends, this is like Ronaldo joining Manchester City

  @karpathy Welcome!! So excited we get to work together 👋

• @mtslive @mtslive on x

  We asked @deanwball his thoughts on Karpathy joining Anthropic. His take: “I think maybe Karpathy joining sort of creates that mandate of heaven vibe, but the mandate of heaven shifts.” “These top researchers bounce around a lot in general. Karpathy bounces around a lot. And so […

  @karpathy Will be awesome to work together again!

  Andrej Karpathy has joined Anthropic! Andrej has had a huge influence on my career - my path into deep learning started with his Stanford lectures, and my first viral X post was about one of his videos. A huge win for Anthropic. Congrats, Andrej!

• @stevehou Steve Hou on x

  Anthropic is now the 2016-2017 Golden State Warriors of AI labs. Now they just need to acquire @SSI.

• @growing_daniel Daniel on x

  Karpathy didn't get invited to the a16z new media intern retreat so he settled for this

• @alexeheath Alex Heath on x

  Confirmed that Andrej is joining Nick Joseph's pretraining team at Anthropic and is starting a team that will use Claude itself for research

• @emostaque Emad on x

  As companies approach AGI it would be illogical for most not to go and work there. AGI is a much bigger deal than most people still seem to believe & it is only by most forecasts a few years away (if not arrived already!).

• @alexalbert__ Alex Albert on x

  @karpathy Welcome to the team!

• @teortaxestex @teortaxestex on x

  Unbelievable narrative momentum OpenAI has got to step up their game

• @yuchenj_uw Yuchen Jin on x

  @karpathy wowow, congrats to Anthropic! looking forward to seeing new videos and cool repos and products you will build there :)

• @daveshapi David Shapiro on x

  Am I the only one disappointed by this news?  I get it.  Anthropic is the new superstar, so of course they want top talent.  But they're so safety captured, they can't seem to get out of their own way on some issues.  I kinda felt like Andrej was better than this.  Don't get me w…

  i am genuinely curious about interview process (if any)

• @avitalbalwit Avital Balwit on x

  Welcome to the team! We're so excited

• @scaling01 @scaling01 on x

  Karpathy hasn't said what exactly he's going to work on, but I don't think he's getting into the weeds of optimizers or hardware or whatever I think he's going to work on something higher-level my best guess is auto-research [image]

  welcome, Andrej

• @signulll @signulll on x

  @karpathy this is bigger news than google io!

  @karpathy Epic! Once you're inside can we get a video on how to train mythos in under an hour?

• @natolambert Nathan Lambert on x

  Very happy for Karpathy. Also very lonely times in open science.

• @_sholtodouglas Sholto Douglas on x

  @karpathy I'm so excited to work together!!

• @sleepinyourhat Sam Bowman on x

  @karpathy Woo, welcome!

• @elonmusk Elon Musk on x

  @karankendre Anthropic will not be destroyed. Their AI+harness goes far beyond coding and Opus 4.7 is still better than Composer 2.5, albeit a lot more expensive. Cursor is however an important piece of the puzzle to make Grok much better.

• @trq212 @trq212 on x

  the future is bright, lets get to work

• @bentossell Ben Tossell on x

  hopefully karpathy still releases cool open source stuff and not limited to cc harness 😅

  @karpathy Congrats Andrej - sorry to hear you won't be dedicated to education any more, but excited to see what you achieve at Anthropic.

  in the last 24 hours, anthropic managed to get both the pope and @karpathy on their side. can't make this stuff up.

• @polynoamial Noam Brown on x

  Andrej @karpathy is back in the game! I would have loved for him to rejoin @OpenAI, but I'm happy he's at any frontier lab pushing the field forward. It's easy to frame this as zero-sum among the labs, but in truth we're collectively advancing the most important tech of our era.

  @karpathy Congrats on the next thing! Most importantly: have fun with Research & Development. (I will try to keep up with the Reproduce & Debug part :D) Looking forward to learn from your learnings at the frontier.

  Andrej joined Anthropic. Even Elon couldn't help but praise Anthropic. Anthropic really aura-farmed Google I/O today. [image]

• @karpathy Andrej Karpathy on x

  Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I 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. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
