OpenAl Cofounder Builds New

Open Source LLM 'Nanochat' - and Doesn't Use Vibe Coding
/ EditorDavid 12 hours ago
An anonymous reader shared this report from Gizmodo: It's been over a year since OpenAl cofounder Andrej Karpathy exited the company. In the time since he's been gone, he coined and popularized the term "vibe coding" to describe the practice of farming out coding projects to Al tools. But earlier this week, when he released his own open source model called nanochat, he admitted that he wrote the whole thing by hand, vibes be damned.
Nanochat, according to Karpathy, is a minimal, from scratch, full-stack training/inference pipeline" that is designed to let anyone build a large language model with a ChatGPT-style chatbot interface in a matter of hours and for as little as $100. Karpathy said the project contains about 8,000 lines of "quite clean code," which he wrote by hand - not necessarily by choice, but because he found Al tools couldn't do what he needed.
"It's basically entirely hand-written (with tab autocomplete)," he wrote. "I tried to use claude/codex agents a few times but they just didn't work well enough at all and net unhelpful."

uv makes installing and using Python *so* easy! It works on pretty much any computer and it's lightning fast. 🔭☄️ #astrocode

If you're still using conda, pyenv, or... basically any other tool, then I can *highly* recommend switching:

Released in 2024, uv is hands-down the best tool for managing Python installations and dependencies. Here's why.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

C'était il y a moins de 10 ans. C'était en 2016, et le groupe Portishead sortait cette chanson en hommage à Jo Cox, députée britannique assassinée par un militant d’extrême droite parce qu'elle s'opposait au Brexit.

observations of a naturalist in silicon valley

A speculative natural history illustration that presents "software" as a type of lepidopteran (moth or butterfly). It is made in traditional media (paper, ink, alcohol markers). The title is SOFTWARE LIFE CYCLE and it begins in the upper left. "Software eggs are laid on paper napkins..." says the text next to three beautiful blue spheres on a white napkin. An arrow leads past the text "...they hatch into larvae, or 'alphas'..." to point at a rather horrible little yellow caterpillar-ish thing. An arrow leads from this past the text "...which grow through instars called 'versions'..." to point at a larger, lumpier, and hairier version. This version retains the yellow coloration, with the addition of a green spotted portion to its body. A third arrow leads onward, past the text "...forever.", to a still larger and more horrible version. This one is still yellow, and green spotted, and now also purple and red striped. From this abomination, two arrows peel off, both with question marks. One leads back to the napkin with the text, "Has the juvenile evolved through neoteny to reproduce without maturing?" Another leads down to faintly colored outline of what might be a quite stunning moth or butterly. The text next to this hypothetical creature reads, "Naturalists theorize that software should metamorphose into a beautiful final form, but this has never been observed." In the lower right is the text "natural illustration: Danna Staaf; software consultant: Anton Staaf."

Aux US, une ambulance peut coûter plus de 1000$. Certains malades avec des problèmes d'épilepsie portent sur eux des instructions de type "don't call 911" en cas de crise. Des blessés commandent des Uber pour aller aux urgences pour ne pas être ruinés.
