Having Karpathy as a youtuber is a gift the world didn't deserve, but needed
Imagine being one of the top AI scientists in the world, Tesla's Computer Vision lead, OpenAI's founding member, PhD from Standford, advised by the AI goddess, Dr. Fei Fei Li. And yet he creates hours-long videos on YouTube. Can't believe this guy. Truly a gem!!
After reading countless research papers, this video was the missing piece that tied everything together no exaggeration, no showing off, just a clear and kind explanation of what he knows. So grateful for insights like this!
I never saw anything like this lecture before. No hype, no demonstration of superiority, just pure knowledge. Andrej, you are the Teacher. All the power to you, man, thank you!
no silly jokes, stupid memes, gifs, popups, screaming editing.. just pure joy of teaching. i want so badly yters who title they video whatever programming language/game engine how to choose this approach more often
I’m smiling as I watch this video. When you reach a certain level of expertise, discussing topics within your domain naturally brings out jargon and technical details from your subconscious. But Andrej is special—he deliberately adjusts his thinking to explain concepts in the simplest terms, making them accessible to anyone. It’s a rare skill to strip away all complexity and break things down from the ground up, starting from first principles.
This is not only perfectly condensed and summarized, but expertly and clearly presented in flawless enunciated speech. Karpathy is an educator without peer.
i love your analogy of a textbook: exposition = pre-training, worked problems = supervised training, and practice problems = reinforcement learning. Spot on!
Bro Andrej is a true hero. Posting so high quality video for free and using such easy-understanding word to discribe the LLM.
The difference with other LLM specialists is that he is a humble person who shares his knowledge with the world. Profit is not his main goal; wisdom is. Respect for Mr. Andrei K.
No, no, no! You're not apologizing for the length of the video, Andrej. In the contrary, I'm hugely grateful to you taking time to produce this masterclass! Thank you so much!
This is so cool. Thank you for explaining the details in a way a wide non-technical audience can understand!
I can't believe that it is possible to teach a complex topic like LLM so simply. Even an LLM would struggle to explain itself in such simple terms. Massive love and respect for you brother!
This would be the first time ever if not in many years that someone had my attention for this long without any break. Words won't describe what you have provided to the audience over here in the era of job uncertainty and upskilling. This tutorial is pure gold for beginners to this field. What a legend.
Andrej Uploads a video on YT. Everyone else: immediately pauses whatever they are doing. Lock themselves in a room and start watching the video. Thanks a lot Andrej!! RESPECT.
Dude doesn't have to work a day in his life yet he keeps making AWESOME free content. You are just incredible, Andrej!
The feeling when andrej drops a new video
This video is hands down the best LLM explanation without going into the math of it. Andrej Karpathy is an outstanding educator. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for everything is doing for the community. And fun fact: I just tried the test with ubiquitous gpt4-o wrote the code but failed to output the correct result, o3 succeed, Claude did it correctly without the code
My first Andrej video. Well worth your time. The initial concepts are challenging although later becomes far easier to digest. Watch end to end and become a better student!
