One of the original members of OpenAI and an artificial intelligence researcher, Andrej Karpathy, announced his departure from the Microsoft-backed business on Monday in a post on social media platform X.
The announcement is a dramatic shift from OpenAI, one of the leading labs vying to create artificial intelligence with ever-increasing capabilities.
“My immediate plan is to work on my personal projects and see what happens,” Karpathy said in the post on Tuesday.
