00:04Anthropic has hired one of the industry's most recognized researchers.
00:08Andre Karpathy started this week at Anthropic, where he's working on pre-training under team
00:13lead Nick Joseph, the division responsible for the massive training runs that give Claude its
00:18core knowledge and capabilities. An Anthropic spokesperson confirmed Karpathy will build a
00:24team focused on using Claude itself to accelerate pre-training research, a clear sign that AI
00:29assisted research, rather than raw compute, is how the company plans to stay competitive.
00:35Anthropic's annualized revenue has tripled to $30 billion since December, and the company's
00:40secondary market valuation recently surpassed $1 trillion, overtaking OpenAI. The hire comes
