Former OpenAI executive Jan Leike announced on Tuesday that he has joined Anthropic, OpenAI’s Amazon-backed rival. Leike resigned from OpenAI much less than two weeks ago, publicly criticizing the business for prioritizing “shiny items” more than vital “security culture and processes.”

Leike’s move follows a series of notable departures from OpenAI. Just final week, policy researcher Gretchen Krueger announced her resignation, sharing related issues about the company’s path.

In response to these exits, Microsoft-backed OpenAI has established a security committee overseen by board members Bret Taylor, Sam Altman, Nicole Seligman, and Adam D’Angelo. The business also revealed plans to test its “subsequent frontier model.”
Leike co-led the Superalignment group at OpenAI with co-founder Ilya Sutskever. This group was accountable for making certain that superintelligent AI systems stay controllable and secure. The group was disbanded just after the resignations — and its members had been reassigned to core study roles.
Anthropic, established in 2021 by former OpenAI workers and execs, lately secured a $four billion investment from Amazon. Leike’s new employer has positioned itself as far more security-focused compared to its competitors — and utilizes Amazon Net Services’ cloud infrastructure for establishing its huge language models.
