A stripped-down LLM training loop tool by Andre Karpathy that allows AI models to improve their own code over five-minute increments.

What creators think

Greg Isenberg gives Auto Research a clear, enthusiastic endorsement, calling it "a huge deal" and walking through practical use cases in depth. David Sacks and Alex Wilhelm have both tried it and speak positively about its potential, particularly its agent-based prompting loop. Emad Mostaque and This Week in Startups mention it in passing as a reference point rather than a recommendation — framing it as an interesting piece of the AI tooling landscape without saying they use or advocate for it. The signal here is early and limited: the strongest backing comes from Isenberg, with the others ranging from curious to neutral.
