Experiment in which AI agents autonomously research single-GPU nanochat training, proposing hyperparameter tweaks.
Karpathy experiment where an ensemble of LLMs debates a question and arrives at a synthesized answer.
Uses LLMs to revisit decade-old Hacker News discussions and score how their predictions and ideas held up.
Intel
Andrej Karpathy's free video course building neural networks and language models from scratch in Python — from micrograd through nanoGPT.
Andrej Karpathy's video lecture + code: build nanoGPT from scratch step by step, training a small GPT on Shakespeare and then OpenWebText.
Karpathy argues agents will take a decade to mature, framing them as interns that cannot yet be trusted with real work, and discusses the capability gaps in tools like Claude and Codex that hold them back.
Andrej Karpathy sketches a funnel of LLM experience, from billions with minimal contact to a few thousand with internal frontier access, and attributes the widening perception gap to problem ambition, jagged RL-shaped capability, and tiered access.
Andrej Karpathy argues that software is undergoing a second fundamental shift in a few years, with LLMs creating a new programming paradigm and a large amount of software to write and rewrite.
