Deep dives
Overview of Software 3.0
Software 3.0 is a concept introduced by Andrei Karpathy that distinguishes machine-learned code from hand-coded software. With Software 1.0, developers write every line of code themselves using traditional coding paradigms. In contrast, Software 2.0 utilizes machine learning models, where developers define the architecture and train the model with data. Software 3.0 represents the emergence of foundation models, enabled by the transformer architecture and increased computing power. These foundation models can be readily used off the shelf, reducing the time and effort required to develop AI products.
