#192Anthropic is on a roll: - best harness overall (well maybe until like a month ago when gpt5.5 and codex came out) - acquires bun - acquires stainless for SDKs - deal with Elon for compute - karpathy what else did I miss?
1. Best harness? It ranks the worst with Opus in terminalbench:

2. Mixed for the entire bun ecosystem, especially with the Rust, Anthropic-focused rewrite
3. Good, because Anthropic's SDK was one of the worst ones to use.
4. Deal with the guy that has a shit ton of compute around wasting money because no-one uses Grok and was frequently calling Anthropic "Misanthropic".

5. Glorified marketer whose probably greatest achievement in pushing AI forward was instructing on CS 231n and coining the term vibe coding.
Yeah, on a roll.

He deployed, not just developed?
Yes, he was [1] director of AI and Autopilot Vision at Tesla, directly poached and reporting to Elon Musk on the most important headline feature of Tesla directly managed by Elon Musk. He had both the technical and executive authority to determine if the product was fit for customer usage. He had direct executive responsibility for the product on the road between 2017-2022. If he, the lead architect and executive res…
Andrej Karpathy is a reason* Tesla doesn’t have Lidar and thus is a reason Tesla self driving isn’t nearly as safe as it could be?
He heard Elon say “I drive with eyes, so cars just need eyes” & shipped?
:( happy to have my impressions corrected (but I was kind of pretending it’s a 2026 scenario where you could slap Lidar, ship a Waymo, if you were just willing to spend the friggin MONEY - 2017 was too early for most any “self” driving IIRC)

*edit - in a scenario where his refusal to skip Lidar catalyzed change

> just becomes a glorified marketer That implies Karpathy is either dumb or desperate and he is neither of those by a long shot.
> That implies Karpathy is either dumb or desperate This kind of thing happens to big names in software all the time. Carmack going to Facebook is a prime example - he joined with the idea of using all those resources to build world-changing tech, and instead he ended up headlining conferences, and fighting a losing battle against the corporate types who were put in charge of Oculus.
Hasn't Carmack solved a few serious engineering problems, making Oculus more or less the most advanced VR device? (The fact that an advanced VR device does not seem to be needed by the mass market is not an engineering problem.)

#195Karpathy is a terrific communicator and populariser of the LLM landscape, and I do hope this isn't going to mean his work in that regard now gets dropped, or dropped into a private Anthropic-only void.
I mean he is basically an influencer at this point? I guess this is a marketing play and we will be hearing more from him than ever.
Re: I’ve joined Anthropic
#196Great communicator. It’s sad that he had joined a closed llm org. I would have expected him to join forces with someone else releasing open-source models rivaling chinese model landscape. Capital always accumulates to the capital holder in capitalism :)
Hopefully he gets them to opensource some models, in the same way that Google does.
hell will freeze over before anthropic release anything meaningful to the public

they invented MCP, Skills, made these standards open so anyone could build the harness around them.
To be fair, MCP and Skills do not have any source code. It is fundamentally impossible to release either standard without making it open.
Re: I’ve joined Anthropic
#198Karpathy is probably one of the biggest names in AI, I do wonder where he fits now. He's sort of bounced around Tesla back to OpenAI back to independent. He sort of left OpenAI before it really hit the inflection point, and he was at Tesla for a long time and they didn't really deliver what they wanted on the AI side. Now he's bounced around a few places. I understand that the leaders in this market play this silly g…
I somehow felt he, along with Andrew Ng, are very few well-known AI experts that are left behind on the money side during the AI-gets-me-super-rich crazy time, unfortunately.
Andrew Ng has been investing in AI startups for almost a decade, I would be very surprised if this rising tide left him behind.

The self drive on my Tesla is damn near perfect. I haven’t driven my car in around 6 months.

Honestly, if Skynet were possible, Anthropic would probably build it first and claim they had to because OpenAI is bad.
Anthropic has drawn lines with the most powerful organization in the world, that OpenAI capitulated on within hours for a small contract.
...and then silently got back to talks with DoD [0] and gave them the Mythos model. Separately, they went back on their promise to only develop models that they can guarantee are safe [1]. I reckon considering which country they are HQ'ed in, building skynet is in their destiny.
