So my 10 year old son has now broke two $400 @RawlingsSports Icon bats and there appears to be no recourse for repair or replacement from looking at your website. One broke last spring, so we bought another one and now it’s broke as well. #rawlingssports and less than a year old!

If this Karpathy interview doesn't pop the ai bubble,

nothing will.

10 brutal quotes:

1. LLMs don’t work yet
They don’t have enough intelligence, they’re not multimodal enough, they can’t use computers, and they don’t remember what you tell them.
They’re cognitively lacking. It’ll take about a decade to work through all of that.

2. When you boot them up, they always start from zero
They have no distillation phase, no process like sleep where what happened gets analyzed and written back into the weights.

3. What’s stored in their weights is only a hazy recollection of the internet
It's just a compressed blur of 15 trillion tokens squeezed into a few billion parameters. Their context window is just short-term working memory.

4. They’re good at imitation, terrible at going off the data manifold
Too much memory, not enough reasoning.
We need to strip away the memorized knowledge and keep the cognitive core: the algorithms, the magic of intelligence, problem-solving, strategy.

5. We’ve probably recreated a cortical tissue, pattern-learning and general, but we’re still missing the rest of the brain
No hippocampus for memory.
No amygdala for instincts.
No emotions or motivations.

6. They memorize perfectly but generalize poorly
If you give them random numbers, they can recite them back. No human can do that.
That’s the problem: humans forget just enough to be forced to find patterns.

7. Anything truly new, code that’s never been written before, ideas that have no template; they stumble
They’re still autocomplete engines with perfect recall and no understanding. Until we find that cognitive core, intelligence stripped of memory but full of reasoning, they’ll stay brilliant mimics, not minds.

Microsoft just changed the game! 🔥

They've open-sourced bitnet.cpp: a blazing-fast 1-bit LLM inference framework that runs directly on CPUs.

Why is this a game-changer❓

You can now run 100B parameter models on local devices with up to 6x speed improvements and 82% less energy consumption—all without a GPU!

The future we've been waiting for: fast, efficient, and private AI that works anytime, anywhere.✨

The model is also available on HuggingFace, you can try it right away!

I've shared Link to the GitHub repo in next tweet, where you'll find all the details.

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.

After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.

It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.

The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.

They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.

Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!

Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.

It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.

And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.

This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.

It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
