Had a fantastic time speaking at the Ethio-French Crea-Tech forum diving into the future of Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship!

My core message? USE AI!

We are at a point where Large Language Models have already exhausted the public internet. With over 20 years of social media data, they already hold the "human condition" within their weights.

For context, Meta’s open-source Llama 3 model was trained on a massive 15T tokens including 1.5T tokens of curated public internet data two years ago, which is a very long time ago in AI's exponentially progressing timeline. Today, frontier models are being trained on 30 to 40+ trillion tokens, with even startups shooting straight to super-intelligence using purely synthetic data. We are already seeing frontier models win gold medals at International Math Olympiads, discover new algorithms, and accelerate towards recursive self-improvement, fields that completely bypass the need for private data.

The key takeaway for innovators and entrepreneurs is: AI doesn't need your private data for training. What it needs your data for is contextualization, to distill that massive global intelligence directly into your specific context.

The tools are ready. The scale is unprecedented. It’s time to build!

The Education Revolution has begun!!

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

⚡️ Excited to share that I am starting an AI+Education company called Eureka Labs.
The announcement:

---
We are Eureka Labs and we are building a new kind of school that is AI native.

How can we approach an ideal experience for learning something new? For example, in the case of physics one could imagine working through very high quality course materials together with Feynman, who is there to guide you every step of the way. Unfortunately, subject matter experts who are deeply passionate, great at teaching, infinitely patient and fluent in all of the world's languages are also very scarce and cannot personally tutor all 8 billion of us on demand.

However, with recent progress in generative AI, this learning experience feels tractable. The teacher still designs the course materials, but they are supported, leveraged and scaled with an AI Teaching Assistant who is optimized to help guide the students through them. This Teacher + AI symbiosis could run an entire curriculum of courses on a common platform. If we are successful, it will be easy for anyone to learn anything, expanding education in both reach (a large number of people learning something) and extent (any one person learning a large amount of subjects, beyond what may be possible today unassisted).

Our first product will be the world's obviously best AI course, LLM101n. This is an undergraduate-level class that guides the student through training their own AI, very similar to a smaller version of the AI Teaching Assistant itself. The course materials will be available online, but we also plan to run both digital and physical cohorts of people going through it together.

Today, we are heads down building LLM101n, but we look forward to a future where AI is a key technology for increasing human potential. What would you like to learn?

@EurekaLabsAI is the culmination of my passion in both AI and education over ~2 decades. My interest in education took me from YouTube tutorials on Rubik's cubes to starting CS231n at Stanford, to my more recent Zero-to-Hero AI series. While my work in AI took me from academic research at Stanford to real-world products at Tesla and AGI research at OpenAI. All of my work combining the two so far has only been part-time, as side quests to my "real job", so I am quite excited to dive in and build something great, professionally and full-time.

It's still early days but I wanted to announce the company so that I can build publicly instead of keeping a secret that isn't. Outbound links with a bit more info in the reply!
