OpenAI · OpenAI CEO at the center of AGI, product rollout and AI governance debates.
Topic
Foundation Models
Large multimodal, reasoning and open-weight models that become the base for apps and agents.
Topic brief
Start with the people, latest signal and source trail
Topic pages should satisfy broad searches like a model name, company strategy or AI concept by grouping leaders, sourced updates and discussion context.
Karpathy is tracked for developer-facing AI education, agent framing and practical model-use commentary.
Each update links back to source pages and separates fact, interpretation and community reaction.
Are the next 24 months decisive for AGI, or is that timeline too compressed?
