Andrej Karpathy: "90% of what AI twitter tells you to learn will be dead in 6 months"
90% of what ai twitter tells you to learn dies in 6 months
senior engineers already stopped chasing it
the dead list: autogen, crewai, autonomous agent pitches, agent marketplaces, benchmark leaderboards, semantic kernel, dspy as a general framework, horizontal "build any agent" platforms, per-seat pricing for agents
the pattern is obvious. demos that break in production. hype that never ships. frameworks that go viral on monday and vanish by spring
what actually compounds:
context engineering
tool design
orchestrator-subagent pattern
eval discipline
the harness mindset. harness > model, always
mcp as the protocol layer
the edge isn't the newest framework. it's staying a few steps ahead until your signal becomes everyone's mass-opinion
book and study this
It’s SO VALIDATING whenever they’re FINALLY honored for what they Are Creating! When will someone Other Than Me realize @twentyonepilots are 21st Century Pink Floyd?!? I accepted this even BEFORE I heard their music th past year on Spravato (esketamine) & weed? I beg please NOTICE
New article: a visual tour of recent LLM architecture advances, from Gemma 4 to DeepSeek V4.
I focus on long-context efficiency tweaks like KV sharing, per-layer embeddings, layer-wise attention budgets, compressed attention, and mHC.

I don’t agree. A PhD student should not prioritize work-life balance.
Getting to do a PhD is a privilege. You are paid to think. There is no pressure for you to be economically useful. It is a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of human knowledge and produce something ground breaking.
And nothing great ever happens without complete devotion. Look at everything that moved and shaped the world. Every single person who created anything meaningful, in science, in arts, in music, in movies, devoted their lives to their craft.
Extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary inputs and some degree of sacrifice. Sure, have work-life balance during your PhD. But be content a mediocre outcome.
The most important AI research center in Europe isn’t in London, Paris, or Berlin. It’s in a university town of 90,000 people you’ve probably never heard of.
Tübingen, in southwestern Germany, is home to Cyber Valley - an AI consortium set up in 2016 with €165M from the state of Baden-Württemberg, the Max Planck Society, and partners including Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, and Amazon. The region publishes more machine learning and computer vision research to top conferences than anywhere else in Europe. Aleph Alpha came out of here.
With @FastCodeAI Labs now registered in Baden-Württemberg, we’re applying to join the Cyber Valley Startup Network.
Thanks to Paul-David at Cyber Valley for the time.
A few updates from across Google this week🧵
A new full-stack vibe coding experience is now in @GoogleAIStudio with the @Antigravity coding agent and a built-in @Firebase integration.
Turn your prompts into amazing production-ready apps.
Startup School is coming to India! 🇮🇳
Hear from founders like @harshilmathur of Razorpay, @viditaatrey of Meesho, @lkeshre of Groww, @mukundjha of Emergent and more.
And join the best builders and hackers from across the country for a day of talks and sessions with YC partners.
Sweden is the world's startup capital.
More than the US, China or anywhere else per capita.
No wonder people love to build in such a beautiful country! 🇸🇪 🇪🇺
