OpenAI co-founder joins Anthropic

Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI and former Tesla AI chief, has announced he is joining rival lab Anthropic.

The high-profile hire is seen as a major coup for Anthropic in the increasingly competitive race for elite artificial intelligence talent.

Karpathy will join the pretraining team, focusing on enhancing the capabilities of Anthropic's Claude models.

The move comes as the 'AI Cold War' intensifies between the two San Francisco-based startups following OpenAI's recent legal victory over Elon Musk.
