EdTech is the most important thing we can build for our next generation! However, just slapping an off-the-shelf LLM on top of your courses won't work - we need better reasoning, whiteboard experience, personalization, and more. Andrej Karpathy is uniquely positioned to make it happen!

It's true for the whole tech industry rn. E/acc folks are hyping about the "pro-AI", "pro-OS" candidate, ignoring the fact that said candidate doesn't give a shit about the outside world. If you care about building stuff, ask yourself which world you are gonna build for?

What a week! And it's only Thursday

Independence. Freedom. Democracy. These words are soaked in the blood of millions who had the courage to sacrifice their lives in defense of these values. I remain thankful to them for eternity. Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!

My personal take is that whatever DeepSeek and Qwen teams did with their math models (reasoning path sampling + RL), OpenAI already walked through that path a year ago, and scaled the shit out of everything during training with o1. And by scaling, I don't mean model size.

Just attended the PhD defense of my friend. Her ending remarks were so touching that I almost cried 😭 😢 🤧
