After escaping for a year and a half, he returned to the front lines! Karpathy joined Anthropic, revealing his anti-drift moving mechanism back in March.

AIMPACT News, May 20 (UTC+8), according to Beating monitoring, on May 19, former Tesla head of autonomous driving and OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy officially announced on the X platform that he has formally joined the cutting-edge AI lab Anthropic and returned to the frontline of R&D, nearly a year and a half since he again left OpenAI in February last year. This highly anticipated return was not without warning; its deeper motivations had already been made public two months earlier. In a No Priors podcast interview released on March 20, Karpathy said he felt extremely nervous about being adrift outside frontier labs, because the black-box barriers built by closed-source giants are inevitably causing external researchers’ technical intuition and judgment to begin to drift. At the time, he revealed that he is highly wary of being completely controlled by a single closed-source entity and inherently skeptical of centralized power. The reason is simple: he absolutely does not want the world’s intelligence to be monopolized by two or three giants behind tightly shut doors. Therefore, in the podcast, Karpathy described an ideal “secondment” state—doing R&D for a period by stepping away from frontier labs, so he can stay connected to the latest technology without completely losing independence—and this formal decision to join Anthropic clearly fulfills that drift-prevention secondment vision.
