Artificial general intelligence is still years away and far from the breakthroughs some tech leaders predict, former Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA<\/a>) senior director of AI and OpenAI founding member Andrej Karpathy<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

“We’re at this intermediate stage,” he told<\/a> host Dwarkesh Patel on the “Dwarkesh Podcast” in October. “The models are amazing. They still need a lot of work.”<\/p>\n

Karpathy said the rapid growth of large language models has created unrealistic expectations. “Overall, the models are not there,” he said. “I feel like the industry is making too big of a jump and is trying to pretend like this is amazing, and it’s not.”<\/p>\n

He said some companies promote “AI agents” \u2014 systems that write code, search the web, or complete office tasks \u2014 as if they are truly autonomous. He told Patel such systems still lack reliability and genuine understanding.<\/p>\n

His view contrasts sharply with that of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who told <\/a>German newspaper Die Welt in Berlin in September that he would be “very surprised” if by 2030 the world didn’t have “extraordinarily capable models that do things that we ourselves cannot do.”<\/p>\n

Karpathy said in the podcast AI <\/a>still struggles with structured reasoning, long-term memory, and safety. He said that many demonstrations show narrow skills rather than true general intelligence.<\/p>\n

“I’m very unimpressed by demos,” Karpathy said. “Whenever I see demos of anything, I’m extremely unimpressed by that.” He said that polished demonstrations rarely capture real-world complexity.<\/p>\n

He called his outlook “five to 10 times pessimistic” compared with public forecasts but said a decade-long path should still be considered optimistic. “Ten years should otherwise be a very bullish timeline for AGI,” he wrote <\/a>later on X.<\/p>\n

The contrast in timelines underscores how divided the tech world remains over AI’s progress. Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote<\/a> on X last month that his company’s upcoming model, Grok 5, “will be AGI or something indistinguishable from AGI,” adding <\/a>that there’s a “10% chance of achieving AGI and rising.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT<\/a>) CEO Satya Nadella told <\/a>developers at GitHub Universe 2025 in San Francisco last month that “a new toolchain is evolving and is being born right now,” as AI agents transform how software is built.<\/p>\n

Karpathy offered a more cautious perspective, saying current AI systems remain far from general intelligence. “We have some very early agents \u2026 but I still feel there’s so much work to be done,” he said on the podcast.<\/p>\n

Still, he remains confident the hurdles can be overcome. “I feel like the problems are tractable, they’re surmountable,” he said. “But they’re still difficult.”<\/p>\n
