A Chinese tech post says Andrej Karpathy may have quietly removed Anthropic from his X bio, sparking speculation that he has already left the company just two months after joining.
What fueled the rumor
- Some users claimed his Anthropic email stopped working and that he had submitted a resignation.
- None of that has been confirmed by Karpathy or Anthropic.
- The timing overlaps with the new open-weights petition led by Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, which Anthropic did not sign.
Why people cared
- Karpathy joined Anthropic in May to help build a new pretraining team and use Claude to accelerate research.
- Since then, his praise for Anthropic products and his role at a closed company have clashed with his long-standing image as an open, build-from-scratch educator.
- The post frames the whole episode as a Karpathy-brand drama: even a small bio edit becomes internet material when the person is Karpathy.
