Andrej Karpathy’s 1-hour Stanford lecture on AI engineering is one of the best explanations I’ve seen of how AI systems actually work.
The progression is simple:
10% → LLM
30% → Prompt
50% → Agent
70% → Loop
100% → Graph
The key takeaway:
AI engineering isn’t just about writing better prompts.
It’s about building systems around models — giving them context, memory, tools, feedback loops, and data flows.
“Delete everything, keep Graph.”
Definitely worth watching if you’re building with AI agents.

🚛 Kodiak Gets California's First-Ever AV Permit.
Kodiak became the first company to win a heavy-duty autonomous truck permit in California, four months after the state lifted an outright ban on testing such trucks.
California was the only state with that kind of blanket prohibition; Texas, Arizona and Arkansas already had autonomous trucks running while California barred even testing.
The permit still requires a human safety driver onboard, as California's approval process moves in phases toward eventual driverless operation.
Kodiak already runs fully driverless trucks elsewhere, and its commercial partners include J.B. Hunt, IKEA and General Dynamics Land Systems.

@Jose_Cong@lennysan I also believe I can contribute meaningful at Airbnb as Cx PM with the Services team. Also, I love Brian's 11 star experience framework. Can I send a note as well?
You can now follow along with Aurora Driver LIVE 🔥

The only thing missing now is a live chat with the truck!

@sadhavi Beautifully written and thanks for sharing this with us. Also, it's been an absolute pleasure sharing this journey with you during your last trip
@anduriltech Please update your links in the no-reply automated messages. The Instagram link in "Your Application to Anduril" email has the wrong Instagram link! The Instagram link goes to a fake or hacked Instagram account. Hope this post helps!
@EdLudlow@paraga If scaled, this would be the new payment structure for publications. Will AI pay for one chapter similar to how we paid for one song in itunes.
@EdLudlow Go blues! Hopefully I'll buy a ticket off you next time im visiting family in Milton Keynes.
I've lost bets in march games - i was a believer until it i realized that the dressing room has lost respect. They need Terry as interim until a manager not a coach is hired.
We built Lore.
An agent harness with a memory system designed for learning. It creates nodes and connections as you use it, which is where the name comes from. Knowledge through experience.
A lot of the memory design came from @karpathy's LLM wiki posts. Lore's memory is essentially a local wiki that scales and compounds the more you use it. The system learns you while you learn with it. (https://t.co/9OexFlK7VN)
The UX angle came from @FarzaTV's Clicky launch. Seeing Cursor companion helped us figure out how to fit an agent harness into something you'd actually use every day, and have less friction. We already had the agentic backend from building Talking Books (still building that). We just needed the right perspective on the use case to port it locally. Thanks Farza.
Running a voice assistant usually means TTS costs stack up fast. So we run a local TTS model on Mac, plus local OCR and Apple's FastVLM for vision. Better accuracy, lower first-token latency, no cloud bill.
And you can also enable Local inference through just running @ollama and it will autodetect the model and use that instead. So you can technically use Lore without wifi.
In this demo we're reading some amazing work from @googleresearch on TurboQuant. I love this paper @demishassabis@OfficialLoganK.
1. Tutor
2. Research
3. Learn
4. Reading
5. Agent (computer use + OpenClaw + self-healing local memory)
6. Transcribe (basically Wispr Flow, because why not)
Next up is persistent long-term memory. @garrytan's Gbrain is helping us get there. That OS is epic.
This feels like a new way to learn, read, and do. A lot of dots had to connect to get here, and more are still connecting. Excited to put this in people's hands.
@OH_atHome how can someone file a complaint for incompetence by the employees? Asking for minimum PSW support by the case coordinator is frustrating to say the least.
