Andrej Karpathy joins Anthropic pretraining team and will lead a new group that uses Claude to conduct research, according to journalist Alex Heath
One post featured a satirical portrait of him as Pope Dario I.
@scaling01 You’re right
Lisan al Gaib@scaling01Karpathy 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
@scaling01 Spot on
Nicholas Joseph@nickevanjosephExcited 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!
