Software 3.0 Defined by LLMs

  • Andre Karpathy defines Software 3.0 as LLMs programmable via natural language prompts, creating a new software paradigm.
  • This shifts programming from traditional code to managing AI-driven neural network functions to achieve outcomes.
ANECDOTE

Tesla Autopilot Code Transition

  • At Tesla, Karpathy observed neural networks progressively replacing traditional C++ code in Autopilot.
  • This illustrates software 2.0 eating into previous software paradigms, showing LLMs could repeat this.
INSIGHT

LLMs as Operating Systems

  • Karpathy compares LLMs to operating systems that support varied tools and models instead of uniform utility like electricity.
  • He anticipates a future where LLMs run locally on users' hardware, akin to the PC revolution.
