Both Anthropic and OpenAI extensively used (and continue to use) remote workers for fullstack and frontend development. But their core AI researchers and engineers are in the office.

I know several people who interviewed at OAI recently and they were told explicitly it's office only. None of them were ML devs so it's probably highly team dependent.

I had an initial talk for a non-AI eng role with OpenAI, and they required in-office to SF, which was a no-go for me as someone who lives in the deep south bay.
Or at least rhetorically; no idea what their actual practice is.
But considering that e.g. Apple lost important senior contributors over the return to a hybrid work model, I would not be surprised if employees with some leverage at ostensibly f2f companies were not given ongoing WfH privileges.
