Andrej Karpathy is a Slovak-Canadian AI researcher who was a founding member of OpenAI and later served as Director of AI at Tesla, leading the Autopilot computer vision team from 2017 to 2022. He earned his PhD at Stanford under Fei-Fei Li and created CS 231n, which grew into the university's most popular deep learning course. In 2024 he founded Eureka Labs, an AI-native education platform, and in May 2026 he joined Anthropic to lead pretraining research.
