holy f*cking sh*t. a 19-year-old from China built a swarm of Claude Code agents that does research, writes, and verifies every output. no team. just a laptop and a system that runs while he sleeps

Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, put 7 repos on GitHub. free. 300K+ stars. the full path from "how a neuron works" to "agents that run experiments overnight"

and you are paying some dude $200 a month to repackage the same material into a course with a Discord server

7 repos. in order:

→ micrograd. how a neural net learns. backprop in 100 lines of python
github.com/karpathy/micro…
→ nn-zero-to-hero. full video course from a single neuron to GPT
github.com/karpathy/nn-ze…
→ minbpe. how text turns into tokens. the part 95% of people skip
github.com/karpathy/minbpe
→ nanoGPT. train your own GPT from scratch
github.com/karpathy/nanoG…
→ llm.c. raw C and CUDA. no frameworks hiding the work
github.com/karpathy/llm.c
→ nanochat. full chat model. $43K in 2019, ~$48 now
github.com/karpathy/nanoc…
→ autoresearch. agents that train, test, keep what works, discard what fails. all night
github.com/karpathy/autor…

finish these 7 and you become the person who gets the AI project at work. keep paying for tutorials and you become the one watching that happen to someone else

what stops you from cloning the first one tonight?
