Big fan of Andrej Karpathy work. Happy to hear his recent move to Anthropic
Andrej's Contribution in the AI space - https://lnkd.in/eh9cawhT
Co-founded OpenAI (2015) as a founding research member, before being recruited away by Musk to Tesla in 2017
Director of AI at Tesla (2017-2022) - led the computer vision and neural network stack behind Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
Stanford CS231n - the canonical deep-learning-for-computer-vision course (built with Fei-Fei Li) that trained a generation of ML engineers; the course notes are still the default reference
"Neural Networks: Zero to Hero" + nanoGPT - the YouTube series and minimal-code repos where he builds backprop, GPT-2, and a tokenizer from scratch on stream. It's become the standard pedagogical path for anyone serious about understanding transformers under the hood
"Software 2.0" essay + coining "vibe coding" - twice he's named the era. Software 2.0 (2017) reframed neural nets as a new programming paradigm where you curate data instead of writing rules; vibe coding (2025) named the new mode of AI-assisted development that's now everyone's default workflow
