Tom Blomfield, a partner at Y Combinator and former Monzo co-founder, said he is taking a temporary leave from YC to join Anthropic, the large language model company. He said he will work with Tom Brown on the company’s compute team. Blomfield framed the move around a technical bottleneck rather than a broader role change. In his remarks, he said AI is entering an early stage of “recursive self-improvement,” and that compute supply is becoming one of the key constraints. His focus at Anthropic will be on challenges tied to access to AI computing resources. The announcement was reported by PANews on July 13.
