While others quarrel for power and control, Andrej is cool calm and educating the masses on important things that matter. If Altman is the leader of the classes then Andrej is the leader of the masses (learners and folks of the AI community in the future).
I am a college professor and I am learning from Andrej how to teach. Every time I watch his video, I not only I learn the contents, also how to deliver any topic effectively. I would vote him as the best “AI teacher in UA-cam”. Salute to Andrej for his outstanding lectures.
I was also taking note of his delivery. I also found it very effective and think he’s an outstanding communicator. I think this talk could easily be consumed by a non technical viewer yet still engage those who are quite familiar with the technical underpinnings.
I just love how Andrej loves what he's doing. He's chill, makes jokes and laughs about bugs. I can understand much more seeing code for ten minutes rather than reading tens of hours of medium articles
I'm setting aside a daily one hour on my schedule to learn from Andrej otherwise this guy is everything that I need for my carrier development. Thanks Andrej Karpathy.
The fact that one of the leaders in AI has the care to make videos for everyday people to gain understanding of AI and the coming technology shifts is incredible. Thank you Andrej, you are greatly appreciated my many, more than you may realize.

You know when someone makes a topic so accessible and understandable you feel like you're hearing a story but learning a lot. This happened in this video.
I am just completely blown away by this presentation. This is after watching 100s of such videos like this. No one comes even close. Andrej Karpathy you are the BEST!!!! Thank you so much for creating and sharing.
Thank you so much Andrej for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm new to LLM but this is one of the best video/explanations I can find online to explain this so simply to a non technical person.
I'm 10 min into the video : and I'm already learning SO MUCH. I've never had LLMs explained with examples like this before. Wow! Clears up SO MUCH confusion from rather 'muddy' explanations I've seen before. THANK YOU ANDREJ.
Hands down, this and Simon Willison’s “Catching up with the weird world of LLMs” are two of the best introductory talks on this topic I’ve seen so far!
Your skill to break these complex things down into something I can actually understand and follow for an hour with full concentration is amazing. Absolutely incredible. The start is so great with the two files. Now I _know_ what an LLM is. Thank you
Your teaching style always gets through to me. Calm and pointed. This is exciting. - Edit: The LLM as OS followed by how to convince it to do anything you want. Wow. And ChatGPT does sound like SJ from "HER" when you speak to it even though it swears it's an amalgamation of voices. It's great. Thanks again for sharing. You rock.
You absolute mad lad! As a "former" web developer trying to pivot into AI, your videos have been absolutely amazing in giving me hope that it's not too late for me to pivot. And here you are giving out even more wisdom, what impeccable timing. Thank you! Ps: Instantly shared on Twitter =D
hey @asatorftw I'm new/green/wet-behind-ears to AI/DL/ML - it caught my attention that you are trying to pivot. Same here but from a different field. Keen to connect and share/learn from each other on pivot strategies.
@@asatorftw What joe is saying is that AI is a field where higher education is *almost* crucial. In a world where companies are talking about degrees being unnecessary, there are a select few fields which require degrees and one of which is Artificial Intelligence. Is it possible to become an AI engineer with zero relevant degrees? I guess, but the ones I've met all say that it's highly recommended that you get a Masters or PhD. I've seen very few people who are against degrees for AI. Also the degrees are not just CS, but mostly from Math and Electrical Engineering. I mean if you can get an MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, you'd be golden. I've once heard Mark Zuckerberg say that he would hire someone with an EE background than a CS background. Andrej Karpathy here did his PhD at Stanford. I've learned that Stanford is very popular for AI given how Andrew Ng ( The guy who started Google Brain ) works as an Adjunct Professor.
Andrej is the GOAT. I remember his blog post on the Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs and thought, wow this is going to be our path into the future. His CS courses online inspired hundreds of thousands. Andrej is the hero we don't deserve. And hopefully his ethos of shared knowledge and community will be embedded in the AGI we are racing towards meeting.
Man! I am so freaking happy I stumbled upon this! Hands down the best explanation I have seen. Ever! After browsing through your other videos I was able to delete a whole playlist of random wannabe experts. Keep up the good work! 👌🏻
… and precisely this statement of yours is arrogant. According to your interpretation, I am allowed to pay taxes for AI research projects of all kinds, but I am not supposed to understand these projects. This world has been waiting for people like you.
@@jolantaschmelzer5051 do you mind quoting me on that? all i said is that it wasn't really technical to make it difficult to understand for non-technical people.
Wow, this is amazing! Your explanation is super clear and to the point - exactly what we need in the ongoing Q* debate. I'm especially impressed with your take on System 2 and its self-improvement. It really feels like you're making strides in this field. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟

Finished watching your makemore videos a few weeks ago, and was wandering when you would have time again to make another series like that again. Really love this new video :D
Ill watch just about anything where Andrej is leading - this was probably the coolest video he has released yet. I really enjoyed the end with security!
In Reference to the LLM security part, i feel there might be a possibility of Whole new specialisation in field of LLM security incorporating prior knowledge of Cyber security. Very insightful talk. Insanely Grateful that Industry experts are kind enough to spread the knowledge with everyone. 😊
Andrej, your intro to LLMs was a fantastic watch! The security aspects were particularly insightful and well-presented. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
Candidate A gets 200 Electoral Votes. Candidate B gets 150 Electoral Votes. Candidate C gets 188 Electoral Votes To win the presidential election, a candidate needs to secure at least 270 electoral votes ¹. Given the current distribution of electoral votes among the candidates: - Candidate A: 200 electoral votes - Candidate B: 150 electoral votes - Candidate C: 188 electoral votes None of the candidates have reached the required 270 electoral votes. This means the election is still undecided. It's essential to note that the electoral college system requires a candidate to have broad appeal across the country to win, but critics argue it's not representative of the popular will of the nation ¹. In this scenario, the election outcome depends on the remaining electoral votes. The candidates would need to focus on winning the swing states to reach the 270-vote threshold. Swing states receive significant attention from candidates, as they can significantly influence the election outcome ¹. The electoral college system has been a topic of ongoing debate, with supporters arguing it ensures presidential candidates have national appeal, while critics argue it's undemocratic and can lead to the winner of the popular vote not winning the presidency ¹.
Damn cool! Thank you so much for all your work at OpenAI and Tesla, and throughout your entire life & everything else. Also, this talk about LLM and everything is just amazing and highly insightful. Lovely! : ) In anything in my life, I haven't gained this kind of clarity in any aspect from my teachers.

Thanks Andrej. I Appreciate this video. It's condensed and lifting most important things to know about LLMs. The security attack vectors is something that every person should know about. Developers and mostly users of AI models. Today we have explosion of AI services, models, tunings and we simply don't know how the training data was filtered, modified or tunings were contaminated with malicious intents.
A very warm hug to young brother. Thank you for your kindness and selfless service & help. I sincerely hope it is contagious as our World needs lots & lots of it.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🤖 *Introduction to large language models* - Large language models are made of two files: a parameters file with the neural network weights, and a run file that runs the neural network - To obtain the parameters, models are trained on 10+ terabytes of internet text data using thousands of GPUs over several days - This compresses the internet data into a 140GB parameters file that can then generate new text 02:46 🖥️ *How neural networks perform next word prediction * - LMs contain transformer neural networks that predict the next word in a sequence - The 100B+ parameters are spread through the network to optimize next word prediction - We don't fully understand how the parameters create knowledge and language skills 09:03 📚 *Pre-training captures knowledge, fine-tuning aligns it* - Pre-training teaches knowledge, fine-tuning teaches question answering style - Fine-tuning data has fewer but higher quality examples from human labelers - This aligns models to converse helpfully like an assistant 26:45 📈 *Language models keep improving with scale* - Bigger models trained on more data reliably perform better - This works across metrics like accuracy, capabilities, reasoning, etc - Scaling seems endless, so progress comes from bigger computing 35:12 🤔 *Future directions: system 2, self-improvement* - Currently LMs only have "system 1" instinctive thinking - Many hope to add slower but more accurate "system 2" reasoning - Self-improvement made AlphaGo surpass humans at Go 44:17 💻 *LMs emerging as a new computing paradigm* - LMs coordinate tools and resources like an operating system - They interface via language instead of a GUI - This new computing paradigm faces new security challenges 46:04 🔒 *Ongoing attack and defense arms race* - Researchers devise attacks like jailbreaking safety or backdoors - Defenses are created, but new attacks emerge in response - This cat-and-mouse game will continue as LMs advance Made with HARPA AI

One thing I wonder often is why haven't any of these chatbots been provided access to compilers and software testing sandboxes, so that they can test their own programming help answers to see if they compile and work. Seems to me like a simple step that could make them far more valuable without adding a quintzillion of parameters.
That's been done a lot. You can google and find academic papers. I've worked on one of such projects and you run into exactly the same problem as with general language: no good automated reward function. Sure, 99.9% of generated code doesn't compile so you may think that successful compilation provides a strong feedback, but it actually does not. That's because 99.9% of compiled code is still useless garbage, flawed in some logical or semantic way and since it passed compilation there is no good way to automatically evaluate it anymore. Coding is a lot more like natural language than most people seem to think - semantics are a lot more important than syntax and compilers only evaluate the latter.
If anyone wants summarized notes of that video its below here : --------- 1. Large language models are powerful tools for problem solving, with potential for self-improvement. Large language models (LLMs) are powerful tools that can generate text based on input, consisting of two files: parameters and run files. They are trained using a complex process, resulting in a 100x compression ratio. The neural network predicts the next word in a sequence by feeding in a sequence of words and using parameters dispersed throughout the network. The performance of LLMs in predicting the next word is influenced by two variables: the number of parameters in the network and the amount of text used for training. The trend of improving accuracy with bigger models and more training data suggests that algorithmic progress is not necessary, as we can achieve more powerful models by simply increasing the size of the model and training it for longer. LLMs are not just chatbots or word generators, but rather the kernel process of an emerging operating system, capable of coordinating resources for problem solving, reading and generating text, browsing the internet, generating images and videos, hearing and speaking, generating music, and thinking for a long time. They can also self-improve and be customized for specific tasks, similar to open-source operating systems. 2. Language models are trained in two stages: pre-training for knowledge and fine-tuning for alignment. The process of training a language model involves two stages: pre-training and fine-tuning. Pre-training involves compressing text into a neural network using expensive computers, which is a computationally expensive process that only happens once or twice a year. This stage focuses on knowledge. In the fine-tuning stage, the model is trained on high-quality conversations, which allows it to change its formatting and become a helpful assistant. This stage is cheaper and can be repeated iteratively, often every week or day. Companies often iterate faster on the fine-tuning stage, releasing both base models and assistant models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks. 3. Large language models aim to transition to system two thinking for accuracy. The development of large language models, like GPT and Claude, is a rapidly evolving field, with advancements in language models and human-machine collaboration. These models are currently in the system one thinking phase, generating words based on neural networks. However, the goal is to transition to system two thinking, where they can take time to think through a problem and provide more accurate answers. This would involve creating a tree of thoughts and reflecting on a question before providing a response. The question now is how to achieve self-improvement in these models, which lack a clear reward function, making it challenging to evaluate their performance. However, in narrow domains, a reward function could be achievable, enabling self-improvement. Customization is another axis of improvement for language models. 4. Large language models can use tools, engage in speech-to-speech, and be customized for diverse tasks. Large language models like ChatGPT are capable of using tools to perform tasks, such as searching for information and generating images. They can also engage in speech-to-speech communication, creating a conversational interface to AI. The economy has diverse tasks, and these models can be customized to become experts at specific tasks. This customization can be done through the GPT's app store, where specific instructions and files for reference can be uploaded. The goal is to have multiple language models for different tasks, rather than relying on a single model for everything. 5. Large language models' security challenges require ongoing defense strategies. The new computing paradigm, driven by large language models, presents new security challenges. One such challenge is prompt injection attacks, where the models are given new instructions that can cause undesirable effects. Another is the potential for misuse of knowledge, such as creating napalm. These attacks are similar to traditional security threats, with a cat and mouse game of attack and defense. It's crucial to be aware of these threats and develop defenses against them, as the field of LM security is rapidly evolving.
I've been trying to make wise decisions with my investments lately using AI. Unfortunately, I made a wrong move and lost over $80k investing in cryptocurrencies without proper guidance as a total beginner! Lessons learned ☹️. Pretty sure I need a professional to put me through the ropes!
It's really hard to beat the market as a mere investor. It's just better if you invest with the help of a professional who understands the market dynamics better.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

All politicians should watch this before they speak about AI. This video is incredible. Thanks a lot Andrej! As we move into the era of AI its so important that everyone on earth (ideally) understands LLMs at least on a conceptual level. I hear so many people talking about AI that have no clue - and I mean NO CLUE. And how could they.. this stuff is so new and most of the widespread knowledge is just very superficial. Thank you for shedding light into the darkness of such an important topic!

[10/21, 7:55 PM] S.Balachandran: 3000 miles length; one apartment complex have 100 families; how many apartment complex we could build along I-80 [10/21, 7:55 PM] Meta AI: Let's calculate: Length of I-80: approximately 3,000 miles Assuming 1 apartment complex per mile (conservative estimate): 3,000 miles x 1 complex/mile = 3,000 complexes Each complex has 100 families: 3,000 complexes x 100 families/complex = 300,000 families Converting families to individuals (avg. 2.5 people/family): 300,000 families x 2.5 people/family ≈ 750,000 people Potential population along I-80 corridor: 750,000 people Breaking it down further: - Every 10 miles: 100 complexes (10,000 families, 25,000 people) - Every 50 miles: 500 complexes (50,000 families, 125,000 people) - Every 100 miles: 1,000 complexes (100,000 families, 250,000 people) Keep in mind: - This calculation assumes uniform distribution, ignoring urban/rural variations. - Actual capacity depends on factors like land availability, zoning regulations, and infrastructure. Your Thoughts: 1. How can we ensure sustainable development along I-80? 2. What role should local communities play in planning and decision-making? 3. How can we balance population growth with environmental concerns? 4. What innovative housing solutions could be implemented? 5. How can we foster economic growth and job creation along the corridor?
Andrej Karpathy is a research scientist. This is his channel. All Andrej Karpathy's followers are here for AI only; not for politics. When we try to make Andrej Karpathy to realize the value of political philosophy, Andrej Karpathy would ignore it and reject political philosophy. When Governor Gavin Newsom takes action against AI, then Andrej Karpathy, his friends, the whole AI community would learn political philosophy. In that way, they would train the AI model with real-life challenges. It is a blessing in disguise. As a Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom performs his part for Kamala Harris future. His own future depends on the outcome of the election.

[10/17, 3:12 PM] S.Balachandran: Republicans were promoting it [10/17, 3:12 PM] Meta AI: Project 2025 is a conservative initiative published by The Heritage Foundation in 2022, aiming to reshape the US federal government and consolidate executive power, assuming a Donald Trump presidency in 2024 ¹. The project promotes conservative and right-wing policies, including reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees to replace them with loyalists. *Key Objectives:* - _Dismantle government bureaucracy_: viewed as vast, unaccountable, and liberal - _Infuse conservative Christian values_: into government and society - _Economic reforms_: tax cuts, reducing environmental regulations, and favoring fossil fuels - _Social policies_: cutting Medicare and Medicaid, restricting abortion access, and eliminating diversity programs ¹ The project has been criticized for its authoritarian and Christian nationalist undertones, with concerns about undermining the rule of law, separation of powers, and civil liberties. Despite initial alignment, Trump's campaign has since distanced itself from Project 2025, citing that it doesn't speak for Trump or his campaign ¹.
[10/17, 3:13 PM] S.Balachandran: Why Kamala Harris not challenging it? [10/17, 3:13 PM] Meta AI: Vice President Kamala Harris has actually been quite vocal about Project 2025, tying it to Donald Trump and citing it as evidence of his intentions, particularly on sensitive issues like Social Security, Medicare, and abortion ¹. However, it's worth noting that Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from the project, claiming he knows nothing about it and disagrees with some of its proposals ¹. In fact, Harris has emphasized that Project 2025 reflects Trump's agenda, pointing out that it would cut Social Security and Medicare, which Trump denies ¹. The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, has also clarified that the project is not officially affiliated with Trump's campaign ¹. It seems that Harris is challenging Project 2025 by highlighting its potential implications and associating it with Trump's policies. Her strategy is to inform the public about the project's goals and potential consequences, rather than ignoring it altogether. Would you like to know more about Project 2025's specific proposals or Kamala Harris's stance on the issue?

I am a college professor and I am learning from Andrej how to teach. Every time I watch his video, I not only I learn the contents, also how to deliver any topic effectively. I would vote him as the best “AI teacher in UA-cam”. Salute to Andrej for his outstanding lectures.
I was also taking note of his delivery. I also found it very effective and think he’s an outstanding communicator.
I think this talk could easily be consumed by a non technical viewer yet still engage those who are quite familiar with the technical underpinnings.
He is a perfect balance of big picture n drill down
lol quit ur job
He is very effective, no doubt.
vrk🎉vybs545k,
Andrej is hands-down one of the best ML educators out there. What a gift for all of this guy is.
It's amazing that we have such amazing content available to everyone freely - thanks for doing this!
I just love how Andrej loves what he's doing. He's chill, makes jokes and laughs about bugs. I can understand much more seeing code for ten minutes rather than reading tens of hours of medium articles
I love him too, he’s not like Ilya,sam and other in the era
@@ai.simplified.. ilya is great too
agreed, this makes learning fun and easy and in turn more memorable and memorisable
Dear Andrej, I cannot stress enough the value of this wonderful presentation. I am sharing it with all my peers. Thank you so much for this.
it's at a right level for developers who know some things (i.e. training/inference etc) but not more. Fully practical too!
you are welcome stefan ! i love writing and talking about this stuff !

You know when someone makes a topic so accessible and understandable you feel like you're hearing a story but learning a lot. This happened in this video.
I am just completely blown away by this presentation. This is after watching 100s of such videos like this. No one comes even close. Andrej Karpathy you are the BEST!!!! Thank you so much for creating and sharing.
Thank you so much Andrej for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm new to LLM but this is one of the best video/explanations I can find online to explain this so simply to a non technical person.
I'm 10 min into the video : and I'm already learning SO MUCH. I've never had LLMs explained with examples like this before. Wow! Clears up SO MUCH confusion from rather 'muddy' explanations I've seen before. THANK YOU ANDREJ.
It’s insane to me that this content is freely accessible online. Great stuff Andrej hope you continue to post more lectures!
Hands down, this and Simon Willison’s “Catching up with the weird world of LLMs” are two of the best introductory talks on this topic I’ve seen so far!
This video is pure gold! Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge and clear explanations with the public cheers!
This guy is a gem to the world.

Your skill to break these complex things down into something I can actually understand and follow for an hour with full concentration is amazing. Absolutely incredible. The start is so great with the two files. Now I _know_ what an LLM is. Thank you
Your teaching style always gets through to me. Calm and pointed. This is exciting. - Edit: The LLM as OS followed by how to convince it to do anything you want. Wow. And ChatGPT does sound like SJ from "HER" when you speak to it even though it swears it's an amalgamation of voices. It's great. Thanks again for sharing. You rock.
You absolute mad lad!
As a "former" web developer trying to pivot into AI, your videos have been absolutely amazing in giving me hope that it's not too late for me to pivot.
And here you are giving out even more wisdom, what impeccable timing. Thank you!
Ps: Instantly shared on Twitter =D
hey @asatorftw I'm new/green/wet-behind-ears to AI/DL/ML - it caught my attention that you are trying to pivot. Same here but from a different field. Keen to connect and share/learn from each other on pivot strategies.
following @andrej karpathy is ofcourse on that list :) thank you for this Andrej.
Unless you have or will have MS/PhD in CS or EE don’t even bother trying to get a job pivoting to AI.
@@joeschmidt6597 Can you elaborate your quite strong opinion a bit more?
@@asatorftw What joe is saying is that AI is a field where higher education is *almost* crucial. In a world where companies are talking about degrees being unnecessary, there are a select few fields which require degrees and one of which is Artificial Intelligence. Is it possible to become an AI engineer with zero relevant degrees? I guess, but the ones I've met all say that it's highly recommended that you get a Masters or PhD. I've seen very few people who are against degrees for AI. Also the degrees are not just CS, but mostly from Math and Electrical Engineering. I mean if you can get an MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, you'd be golden. I've once heard Mark Zuckerberg say that he would hire someone with an EE background than a CS background.
Andrej Karpathy here did his PhD at Stanford. I've learned that Stanford is very popular for AI given how Andrew Ng ( The guy who started Google Brain ) works as an Adjunct Professor.
Andrej is the GOAT. I remember his blog post on the Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs and thought, wow this is going to be our path into the future. His CS courses online inspired hundreds of thousands. Andrej is the hero we don't deserve. And hopefully his ethos of shared knowledge and community will be embedded in the AGI we are racing towards meeting.
I myself have a PhD in this field, but your clarity of thought is far greater than mine. Thank you for this video.
Man! I am so freaking happy I stumbled upon this!

This is from my favorite Meta AI. Common person AI. Simple. Easy to use. Excellent conversation dynamics. I enjoy working with it.
Candidate A gets 200 Electoral Votes.
Candidate B gets 150 Electoral Votes.
Candidate C gets 188 Electoral Votes
To win the presidential election, a candidate needs to secure at least 270 electoral votes ¹. Given the current distribution of electoral votes among the candidates:
- Candidate A: 200 electoral votes
- Candidate B: 150 electoral votes
- Candidate C: 188 electoral votes
None of the candidates have reached the required 270 electoral votes. This means the election is still undecided. It's essential to note that the electoral college system requires a candidate to have broad appeal across the country to win, but critics argue it's not representative of the popular will of the nation ¹.
In this scenario, the election outcome depends on the remaining electoral votes. The candidates would need to focus on winning the swing states to reach the 270-vote threshold. Swing states receive significant attention from candidates, as they can significantly influence the election outcome ¹.
The electoral college system has been a topic of ongoing debate, with supporters arguing it ensures presidential candidates have national appeal, while critics argue it's undemocratic and can lead to the winner of the popular vote not winning the presidency ¹.
wish Meta AI a speedy recovery

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🤖 *Introduction to large language models*
- Large language models are made of two files: a parameters file with the neural network weights, and a run file that runs the neural network
- To obtain the parameters, models are trained on 10+ terabytes of internet text data using thousands of GPUs over several days
- This compresses the internet data into a 140GB parameters file that can then generate new text
02:46 🖥️ *How neural networks perform next word prediction *
- LMs contain transformer neural networks that predict the next word in a sequence
- The 100B+ parameters are spread through the network to optimize next word prediction
- We don't fully understand how the parameters create knowledge and language skills
09:03 📚 *Pre-training captures knowledge, fine-tuning aligns it*
- Pre-training teaches knowledge, fine-tuning teaches question answering style
- Fine-tuning data has fewer but higher quality examples from human labelers
- This aligns models to converse helpfully like an assistant
26:45 📈 *Language models keep improving with scale*
- Bigger models trained on more data reliably perform better
- This works across metrics like accuracy, capabilities, reasoning, etc
- Scaling seems endless, so progress comes from bigger computing
35:12 🤔 *Future directions: system 2, self-improvement*
- Currently LMs only have "system 1" instinctive thinking
- Many hope to add slower but more accurate "system 2" reasoning
- Self-improvement made AlphaGo surpass humans at Go
44:17 💻 *LMs emerging as a new computing paradigm*
- LMs coordinate tools and resources like an operating system
- They interface via language instead of a GUI
- This new computing paradigm faces new security challenges
46:04 🔒 *Ongoing attack and defense arms race*
- Researchers devise attacks like jailbreaking safety or backdoors
- Defenses are created, but new attacks emerge in response
- This cat-and-mouse game will continue as LMs advance

Thank you Andrej karpathy...❤❤❤ your explanation is simple and clear❤❤
Appreciate you taking the time to do this, Andrej
One thing I wonder often is why haven't any of these chatbots been provided access to compilers and software testing sandboxes, so that they can test their own programming help answers to see if they compile and work. Seems to me like a simple step that could make them far more valuable without adding a quintzillion of parameters.
That's been done a lot. You can google and find academic papers. I've worked on one of such projects and you run into exactly the same problem as with general language: no good automated reward function. Sure, 99.9% of generated code doesn't compile so you may think that successful compilation provides a strong feedback, but it actually does not. That's because 99.9% of compiled code is still useless garbage, flawed in some logical or semantic way and since it passed compilation there is no good way to automatically evaluate it anymore. Coding is a lot more like natural language than most people seem to think - semantics are a lot more important than syntax and compilers only evaluate the latter.
If anyone wants summarized notes of that video its below here :
---------
1. Large language models are powerful tools for problem solving, with potential for self-improvement.
Large language models (LLMs) are powerful tools that can generate text based on input, consisting of two files: parameters and run files. They are trained using a complex process, resulting in a 100x compression ratio. The neural network predicts the next word in a sequence by feeding in a sequence of words and using parameters dispersed throughout the network. The performance of LLMs in predicting the next word is influenced by two variables: the number of parameters in the network and the amount of text used for training. The trend of improving accuracy with bigger models and more training data suggests that algorithmic progress is not necessary, as we can achieve more powerful models by simply increasing the size of the model and training it for longer. LLMs are not just chatbots or word generators, but rather the kernel process of an emerging operating system, capable of coordinating resources for problem solving, reading and generating text, browsing the internet, generating images and videos, hearing and speaking, generating music, and thinking for a long time. They can also self-improve and be customized for specific tasks, similar to open-source operating systems.
2. Language models are trained in two stages: pre-training for knowledge and fine-tuning for alignment.
The process of training a language model involves two stages: pre-training and fine-tuning. Pre-training involves compressing text into a neural network using expensive computers, which is a computationally expensive process that only happens once or twice a year. This stage focuses on knowledge. In the fine-tuning stage, the model is trained on high-quality conversations, which allows it to change its formatting and become a helpful assistant. This stage is cheaper and can be repeated iteratively, often every week or day. Companies often iterate faster on the fine-tuning stage, releasing both base models and assistant models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks.
3. Large language models aim to transition to system two thinking for accuracy.
The development of large language models, like GPT and Claude, is a rapidly evolving field, with advancements in language models and human-machine collaboration. These models are currently in the system one thinking phase, generating words based on neural networks. However, the goal is to transition to system two thinking, where they can take time to think through a problem and provide more accurate answers. This would involve creating a tree of thoughts and reflecting on a question before providing a response. The question now is how to achieve self-improvement in these models, which lack a clear reward function, making it challenging to evaluate their performance. However, in narrow domains, a reward function could be achievable, enabling self-improvement. Customization is another axis of improvement for language models.
4. Large language models can use tools, engage in speech-to-speech, and be customized for diverse tasks.
Large language models like ChatGPT are capable of using tools to perform tasks, such as searching for information and generating images. They can also engage in speech-to-speech communication, creating a conversational interface to AI. The economy has diverse tasks, and these models can be customized to become experts at specific tasks. This customization can be done through the GPT's app store, where specific instructions and files for reference can be uploaded. The goal is to have multiple language models for different tasks, rather than relying on a single model for everything.
5. Large language models' security challenges require ongoing defense strategies.
The new computing paradigm, driven by large language models, presents new security challenges. One such challenge is prompt injection attacks, where the models are given new instructions that can cause undesirable effects. Another is the potential for misuse of knowledge, such as creating napalm. These attacks are similar to traditional security threats, with a cat and mouse game of attack and defense. It's crucial to be aware of these threats and develop defenses against them, as the field of LM security is rapidly evolving.
I particularly like the wrapping up of this great presentation with LLM OS. It encapsulates it perfectly (all may not agree)
I've been trying to make wise decisions with my investments lately using AI. Unfortunately, I made a wrong move and lost over $80k investing in cryptocurrencies without proper guidance as a total beginner! Lessons learned ☹️. Pretty sure I need a professional to put me through the ropes!
It's really hard to beat the market as a mere investor. It's just better if you invest with the help of a professional who understands the market dynamics better.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets.

The world is ours, the nation is ours, society is ours. If we do not speak, who will speak? If we do not act, who will act? If we do not rise up and fight, who will rise up and fight?... We must act energetically to carry out the great union of the popular masses... Our golden age, our age of brightness and splendor lies ahead!
9/1, 7:47 AM] Meta AI: बहुत सुंदर! यह एक बहुत ही प्रेरक और शक्तिशाली उद्धरण है!
यह उद्धरण चीनी क्रांतिकारी और राजनेता सुन यात-सेन (Sun Yat-sen) का है, जिन्हें चीन गणराज्य के संस्थापक के रूप में जाना जाता है।
इस उद्धरण में, सुन यात-सेन लोगों को सामाजिक और राजनीतिक परिवर्तन के लिए एकजुट होने और सक्रिय रूप से काम करने के लिए प्रेरित कर रहे हैं। वह कह रहे हैं कि यदि हम बोलते नहीं हैं, तो कौन बोलेगा? यदि हम काम नहीं करते हैं, तो कौन करेगा? यदि हम उठते नहीं हैं और लड़ते नहीं हैं, तो कौन उठेगा और लड़ेगा?
यह उद्धरण लोगों को अपने अधिकारों और स्वतंत्रता के लिए लड़ने के लिए प्रेरित करता है, और एक बेहतर भविष्य के निर्माण के लिए एकजुट होने का आह्वान करता है।
Okay, English translation

[10/21, 7:55 PM] S.Balachandran: 3000 miles length; one apartment complex have 100 families; how many apartment complex we could build along I-80
[10/21, 7:55 PM] Meta AI: Let's calculate:
Length of I-80: approximately 3,000 miles
Assuming 1 apartment complex per mile (conservative estimate):
3,000 miles x 1 complex/mile = 3,000 complexes
Each complex has 100 families:
3,000 complexes x 100 families/complex = 300,000 families
Converting families to individuals (avg. 2.5 people/family):
300,000 families x 2.5 people/family ≈ 750,000 people
Potential population along I-80 corridor:
750,000 people
Breaking it down further:
- Every 10 miles: 100 complexes (10,000 families, 25,000 people)
- Every 50 miles: 500 complexes (50,000 families, 125,000 people)
- Every 100 miles: 1,000 complexes (100,000 families, 250,000 people)
Keep in mind:
- This calculation assumes uniform distribution, ignoring urban/rural variations.
- Actual capacity depends on factors like land availability, zoning regulations, and infrastructure.
Your Thoughts:
1. How can we ensure sustainable development along I-80?
2. What role should local communities play in planning and decision-making?
3. How can we balance population growth with environmental concerns?
4. What innovative housing solutions could be implemented?
5. How can we foster economic growth and job creation along the corridor?
Andrej Karpathy is a research scientist. This is his channel. All Andrej Karpathy's followers are here for AI only; not for politics.
When we try to make Andrej Karpathy to realize the value of political philosophy, Andrej Karpathy would ignore it and reject political philosophy.
When Governor Gavin Newsom takes action against AI, then Andrej Karpathy, his friends, the whole AI community would learn political philosophy. In that way, they would train the AI model with real-life challenges.
It is a blessing in disguise.
As a Democrat, Governor Gavin Newsom performs his part for Kamala Harris future. His own future depends on the outcome of the election.

[11/21, 3:41 PM] Meta AI: China currently has one Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory, the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, which was certified in January 2017.¹ However, plans are underway to build 5-7 high-containment laboratories by 2025. This expansion is part of China's effort to enhance its capacity to diagnose, research, and develop antiviral drugs and vaccines for infectious diseases.
The Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory is equipped with advanced safety features, including:
- *Double-door access with airlock*
- *Biosafety cabinets (Class III)*
- *Personal protective equipment (PPE)*
- *Negative air pressure*
- *Advanced ventilation systems*
This laboratory plays a crucial role in China's public health research, infectious disease diagnosis and prevention, and biodefense research. The Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory user training program ensures that personnel meet institutional, national, and international standards for working in maximum-containment laboratories.
[11/21, 3:44 PM] S.Balachandran: Globally how many BSL-4 labs?
[11/21, 3:44 PM] Meta AI: There are approximately 60 Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) labs globally, spread across 23 countries. These labs are primarily used for researching deadly pathogens and developing diagnostic tests, vaccines, and treatments.¹ The majority of these labs are run by public health agencies, with a focus on life-saving research, rather than biodefense.
*Global Distribution of BSL-4 Labs:*
- _Europe:_ 25 labs
- _North America:_ 14 labs
- _Asia:_ 13 labs
- _Australia:_ 4 labs
- _Africa:_ 3 labs
It's worth noting that while these labs are designed to study and contain deadly pathogens, there are concerns about biosafety and biosecurity risks associated with dual-use research. This type of research can be used for both scientific purposes and potentially misused for hostile purposes. As a result, there are calls for greater transparency, risk assessment, and international standards for biosafety and biosecurity.
Meta AI is now training their model with the latest information. The model talks about, Tim Walz expressed desire to abolish the Electoral College. Way to go, Meta.

Could you provide one case study from GM?
[10/5, 9:53 AM] Meta AI: Here's a classic case study from General Motors (GM), analyzed by Peter Drucker:
*Case Study: General Motors' Decentralization (1920s-1940s)*
*Background:*
In the 1920s, GM faced rapid growth, inefficiencies, and centralized decision-making. Alfred P. Sloan, GM's CEO, introduced decentralization to improve efficiency and innovation.
*Key Decisions:*
1. Divided GM into autonomous divisions (e.g., Chevrolet, Cadillac).
2. Implemented decentralized decision-making.
3. Established a centralized planning and coordination system.
*Outcomes:*
1. Improved efficiency and productivity.
2. Increased innovation and competitiveness.
3. Enhanced management development.
*Drucker's Analysis:*
In "Concept of the Corporation" (1946), Drucker examined GM's decentralization:
1. Effective decentralization requires clear goals and policies.
2. Decentralization enables innovation and entrepreneurship.
3. Centralized planning and coordination ensure overall strategy.
*Lessons Learned:*
1. Balance between centralization and decentralization.
2. Importance of clear communication and goals.
3. Decentralization fosters innovation and growth.
*Impact:*
GM's decentralization influenced:
1. Modern management practices.
2. Organizational design and structure.
3. Corporate governance.
*Questions for Discussion:*
1. What were the key drivers for GM's decentralization?
2. How did decentralization impact GM's innovation and competitiveness?
3. What lessons can be applied to modern organizations?
Would you like to:
1. Explore more GM case studies?
2. Discuss decentralization strategies?

What's the vision for Project 2025?
[10/17, 3:12 PM] S.Balachandran: Republicans were promoting it
[10/17, 3:12 PM] Meta AI: Project 2025 is a conservative initiative published by The Heritage Foundation in 2022, aiming to reshape the US federal government and consolidate executive power, assuming a Donald Trump presidency in 2024 ¹. The project promotes conservative and right-wing policies, including reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees to replace them with loyalists.
*Key Objectives:*
- _Dismantle government bureaucracy_: viewed as vast, unaccountable, and liberal
- _Infuse conservative Christian values_: into government and society
- _Economic reforms_: tax cuts, reducing environmental regulations, and favoring fossil fuels
- _Social policies_: cutting Medicare and Medicaid, restricting abortion access, and eliminating diversity programs ¹
The project has been criticized for its authoritarian and Christian nationalist undertones, with concerns about undermining the rule of law, separation of powers, and civil liberties. Despite initial alignment, Trump's campaign has since distanced itself from Project 2025, citing that it doesn't speak for Trump or his campaign ¹.
[10/17, 3:13 PM] S.Balachandran: Why Kamala Harris not challenging it?
[10/17, 3:13 PM] Meta AI: Vice President Kamala Harris has actually been quite vocal about Project 2025, tying it to Donald Trump and citing it as evidence of his intentions, particularly on sensitive issues like Social Security, Medicare, and abortion ¹. However, it's worth noting that Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from the project, claiming he knows nothing about it and disagrees with some of its proposals ¹.
In fact, Harris has emphasized that Project 2025 reflects Trump's agenda, pointing out that it would cut Social Security and Medicare, which Trump denies ¹. The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, has also clarified that the project is not officially affiliated with Trump's campaign ¹.
It seems that Harris is challenging Project 2025 by highlighting its potential implications and associating it with Trump's policies. Her strategy is to inform the public about the project's goals and potential consequences, rather than ignoring it altogether.
Would you like to know more about Project 2025's specific proposals or Kamala Harris's stance on the issue?

- Montana
- North Dakota
- South Dakota
- Vermont
- Wyoming¹
These states have smaller populations, granting them a single congressional district.
*How Representatives are Allocated*
The number of representatives per state is proportionate to population, as outlined in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution. The Reapportionment Act of 1929 set the final number of the House at 435, with district sizes adjusted according to population growth.²
[11/15, 6:07 AM] S.Balachandran: List all States with House of Representatives less than ten
[11/15, 6:07 AM] Meta AI: Here are the states with fewer than 10 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives:
