The record claims an endDate of 2021-01 (January 2021). The source confirms the person, organization, and role, and confirms the startDate of 2016 ('In 2016, Amodei joined OpenAI'). However, the source only states that he founded Anthropic 'In 2021' and that he was VP of Research at OpenAI 'Prior to that,' without specifying the exact month he departed OpenAI. The claim of January 2021 as the end date is plausible given the 2021 founding of Anthropic, but the source does not explicitly confirm the month-level precision (2021-01). This is a partial confirmation—the year is supported but the specific month is unverifiable from the source.
