Andrej Karpathy, the influential 39-year-old Slovak-Canadian AI researcher & one of the original 11 co-founders of OpenAI, and former head of Tesla's AI division, announces that he's joining rival lab Anthropic
Karpathy will be starting a team focused on using Claude, Anthropic's own, increasingly popular AI model, to accelerate pretraining research. This would put Anthropic further toward the overarching AI research goal of many around the world to develop "recursive self-improvement," that is, AI that is capable of training its successors or upgrading itself with increasingly lesser, or ultimately no human intervention.
