On Tuesday, former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy announced the formation of a new AI learning platform called Eureka Labs. The venture aims to create an “AI native” educational experience, with its first offering focused on teaching students how to build their own large language model (LLM).
“It’s still early days but I wanted to announce the company so that I can build publicly instead of keeping a secret that isn’t,” Karpathy wrote on X.
While the idea of using AI in education isn’t particularly new, Karpathy’s approach hopes to pair expert-designed course materials with an AI-powered teaching assistant based on an LLM, aiming to provide personalized guidance at scale. This combination seeks to make high-quality education more accessible to a global audience.
