karpathy speaks like someone who’s running a mental compiler in real time with minimal interpretive latency & almost zero runtime garbage. he’s not verbose. he just threads complexity into compressed lossless statements.
most smart people can be dense, but they lose clarity. karpathy keeps clarity while cranking the bitrate like an llm tuned with perfect temperature control.
it’s so beautiful to listen to that i had to hear this three times already. i might add a fourth.
The @karpathy interview
0:00:00 – AGI is still a decade away
0:30:33 – LLM cognitive deficits
0:40:53 – RL is terrible
0:50:26 – How do humans learn?
1:07:13 – AGI will blend into 2% GDP growth
1:18:24 – ASI
1:33:38 – Evolution of intelligence & culture
1:43:43 - Why self driving took so long
1:57:08 - Future of education

That is what I call the Christmas present, bravo 👏
🚀Now it is the time, Nov. 11 10:24! The perfect time for our best coder model ever! Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct!
Wait wait... it's more than a big coder! It is a family of coder models! Besides the 32B coder, we have coders of 0.5B / 1.5B / 3B / 7B / 14B! As usual, we not only share base and instruct models, we also provide quantized models in the format of GPTQ, AWQ, as well as the popular GGUF! 💖

The flagship model, Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct, reaches top-tier performance, highly competitive (or even surpassing) proprietary models like GPT-4o, in a series of benchmark evaluation, including HumanEval, MBPP, LiveCodeBench, BigCodeBench, McEval, Aider, etc. It reaches 92.7 in HumanEval, 90.2 in MBPP, 31.4 in LiveCodeBench, 73.7 in Aider, 85.1 in Spider, and 68.9 in CodeArena!

A Euro's Guide to Crypto
Twitter thread only because I don't feel like writing a blog. Feel free to bookmark.
Many people still think Defi's only use case is gambling, speculation, and criminal stuff. As a defi power user who earns income on-chain, here’s the stack I use daily:
Inflection point
The state of @base: avg tx fees 📉, adoption 📈
1. ~$2.3 billion has been bridged from the Ethereum L1 to the Base L2
2. There's close to $3 billion of natively minted USDC on Base
3. In June '24, ~290k unique EOAs deployed contracts on Base
4. The avg tx fee on Base has decreased by ~30x since March '24
5. The daily tx count on Base recently reached an ATH of ~4.1 million
6. Monthly active users on Base recently surpassed 10 million

Today @Uniswap Labs received a Wells notice from the SEC.
I’m not surprised. Just annoyed, disappointed, and ready to fight.
I am confident that the products we offer are legal and that our work is on the right side of history. But it’s been clear for a while that rather than working to create clear, informed rules, the SEC has decided to focus on attacking long-time good actors like Uniswap and Coinbase. All while letting bad actors like FTX slip by.
When I first set out to build Uniswap, the goal wasn’t to reimagine finance.
It was an experiment in radically decentralized, fully automated onchain markets. I didn’t know if it would work or if anyone would use it.
Fast forward to today, the Uniswap Protocol has processed over $2 trillion in volume. Many thousands of teams and developers have forked our code or built on top of it. We built entirely new financial infrastructure that is transparent, fair, secure, and accessible powering an entire industry.
The team at @Uniswap did all of this in the US from our office in New York City.
People often ask me why we stay in the US and my answer is simple: I believe that blockchain is incredibly powerful technology. Like the Internet, it’s here to stay. So someone needs to figure it out, and it might as well be us.
And that when you build technology that improves people’s lives – you don’t need to hide.
The @SEC’s mission is “protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation.” This is a noble mission. I would argue @Uniswap does a far better job of this today than the SEC.
Yes, I'm frustrated that the SEC seems to be more concerned with protecting opaque systems than protecting consumers. And that we'll have to fight a US government agency to protect our company and our industry.
This fight will take years, may go all the way to the Supreme Court, and the future of financial technology and our industry hangs in the balance. If we stand together we can win.
I think freedom is worth fighting for. I think DeFi is worth fighting for.
And of course, we won’t stop shipping. Stay tuned

Oh man, all I had to do was fill out a form on a website and tell people that staking rewards come from staking? Wish I'd seen this video before paying a $30m fine and agreeing to permanently shut down the service in the US. How dumb do I look. Gosh. ⛽️💡

AI is changing everything, and it's not just ChatGPT or self-driving cars.
You'd be surprised at just how broadly AI is being applied across tons of industries.
I’ve now invested in 50 AI startups, and here are some recent investments using AI in fascinating applications 👇

The stuff uncovered in the Twitter whistleblower report is much crazier than anything in the "Twitter files" but it's much less politically/tribally salient so it got no attention. Going to do a thread on some of the craziest things, in no particular order.
