@karpathy Yes similar setup, I’ve not yet ventured into special tools im using a hybrid of cursor agent & Claude code, then when planning/researching I’ll have the agent write to my vault and I read from there
models like Kimi, DeepSeek and Qwen will cost the closed AI labs BILLIONS of dollars.
that's why nobody is talking about them.
despite these LLMs absolutely crushing all of the benchmarks.
Claude 4 Opus is literally *100x* more expensive than Kimi K2
yet both models have similar performance on coding benchmarks.
in the last few months, open-source models have caught up in a way nobody expected
and soon, we might actually have an open model BETTER than all of the closed models
this might put the entire AI industry to its knees.
because the inference of these open-source LLMs is often 5-50x cheaper than the closed models.
what a time to be alive.
