Talks, tutorials, essays, and open-source projects by Andrej Karpathy himself, plus high-quality third-party walkthroughs of his work. Distinct from Karpathy Pattern, which catalogs community implementations of his LLM-maintained-wiki idea.
Karpathy’s signal carries unusually well across the AI tooling stack — he coined “Software 2.0,” “vibe coding,” and now “agentic engineering”; he authored the original LLM-wiki design pattern this vault is built on; and he ships open-source projects (micro GPT, AutoResearch, MenuGen, etc.) that practitioners across the wiki’s other topics actively reference.
Articles in this topic should be primary-source: a talk, an essay, an open-source project README, or a careful third-party tutorial that demonstrates one of Karpathy’s tools end-to-end.
