Andrej Karpathy在一个月前的访谈中解释了考虑加入大型AI实验室的原因。他指出,身处能力前沿的实验室正主导着技术发展方向;脱离其中会导致个人判断力逐渐偏离真实进展,且无法深入理解大型系统底层运作机制。因此,他认同保持接触技术前沿、身处核心研发环境的价值。近期,Karpathy已正式宣布加入Anthropic,他认为未来几年大语言模型的前沿发展将至关重要,并期待重返研发一线。
Andrej Karpathy had already talked about this possibility 1 month back, that he might join one of the big AI labs and why he may do so.
"They (the AI labs) are kind of like at the edge of capability of what's possible. And they are working on what's coming down the line. And I think if you're outside of that frontier lab, your judgment fundamentally will start to drift because you're not part of what's coming down the line. And so I feel like my judgment will inevitably start to drift as well.
And I won't actually have an understanding of how these systems actually work under the hood. It's a big system. I won't have a good understanding of how to develop and etc. And so I do think that in that sense, I agree and something I'm nervous about. I think it's worth basically being in touch with what's actually happening and actually being in the frontier lab.
