Andrej Karpathy Denies Resignation Rumors After Removing Anthropic From Social Media Bio

AI researcher Andrej Karpathy sparked widespread speculation about his resignation after removing his Anthropic affiliation from his X bio. However, the rumors were quickly debunked as Karpathy clarified that he has not resigned from the company. As a prominent figure in the AI community, Karpathy's employment status is highly watched, and the rumor highlighted growing industry tensions regarding Anthropic's stance on open-source AI. Speculation intensified because Anthropic did not sign a recent joint open letter supporting open-weight AI models, which was signed by other tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Karpathy had joined Anthropic just over two months prior to lead a pre-training research team.
