⚡️ 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!

@LudwigTor Was it a coincedence or you wanted to buy ‘pi’ to universally symbolize something 😁

[Sashikanth Raavikanti @RSashiKanth]

@LudwigTor Take care, brother.

[Sashikanth Raavikanti @RSashiKanth]

@LudwigTor This is definitely not black and white and there is more to it. The question that I am most concerned about is, how an intelligence agency like Mossad didn't see this coming after spending billions of dollars on border security and surveillance?

We need to separate finance from politics, this will never be done by influencing the current system.

@LudwigTor Travel is humanity’s salvation. Worked for hunter gatherers, for us and I’m sure it will for cyborgs in the future. 😅

“Transformers from scratch” by Brandon Rohrer 🤖

This is one of the best write ups, that starts from 0 and explains every single detail of the model architecture.

Even if you need a refresher or don’t, I would still highly recommend reading it:

With a test such as this, success is measured by how much we can learn, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship

@LudwigTor @unusual_whales I think Lex should be involved on the engineering side, but I have a feeling he will be stomped with criticism as a CEO, which I am not sure if he will be able to counter :D

The thing I like the most with @lexfridman’s podcasts is how he plays a devil’s advocate to give more sense on a topic. The more I listen to podcasts the more stimulating it is to me intellectually and the more it makes me think before jumping to conclusions.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

@econoar @80000Hours pocast is great and always gives good knowledge.

@lexfridman is always fascinating.

@HardcoreHistory is historical and... hardcore. My favorite is still the first one I listened to (the first episode of the Japanese empire series)
