Anthropic, the AI company closing in on a $1 trillion (£740 billion) private valuation, landed one of the most sought-after researchers in artificial intelligence on 19 May when OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy announced he had joined the rival lab.
'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,' Karpathy wrote on X. He added that he remains 'deeply passionate about education' and intends to return to that work eventually.
