Responding to speculation that Andrej Karpathy's two-month silence (not even commenting on recent releases) hints at a secret breakthrough at Anthropic, bendee983 offers a calmer read: joining Anthropic was a big win for the company but a big loss for the open AI community. Karpathy was one of the most prominent voices in open research, and while Anthropic gives him resources he never had as an independent researcher, he no longer has the freedom to share his work with the world.
