Andrej Karpathy
nanoGPT, llm.c, and Zero to Hero — language models built from first principles.
Publishes minimal, readable implementations of language-model training — nanoGPT, micrograd, and llm.c — alongside the Neural Networks: Zero to Hero lecture series that builds a GPT from an autograd engine upward. Previously Director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI.
Technical stack & depth
Fine-tuning
Data pipelines, adapters, and knowing when training is the wrong move.
Production hardening
Latency, cost, observability, and the path from a notebook to a service.
