Karpathy was on a four-month leave of absence, fueling widespread speculation as to whether he would return.

He announced his resignation on Twitter Wednesday. Karpathy wrote, “It was a great pleasure helping Tesla towards its goals over 5 years and a difficult choice to part ways.”

“In that time, Autopilot moved from lane keeping and city streets to lane keeping, and I look forward to seeing the extraordinarily strong Autopilot team continue that momentum.”

Karpathy added that he has “no concrete plans for where it’s going” and that he wants to return to his long-term passions in technical work in AI and open source education.
