Andrej Karpathy Launches AI-Powered Eureka Labs to Transform Education

4 min read

Andrej Karpathy, formerly the head of AI at Tesla and a researcher at OpenAI, has embarked on a new venture with the launch of Eureka Labs. This San Francisco-based startup aims to create AI teaching assistants that support students in their learning journey. The initiative leverages recent advancements in generative AI to better assist educators and pupils. However, the company has yet to test these AI tools in real-world classrooms.

While Eureka Labs aspires to revolutionize education with AI, it is starting off with a more conventional offering. The first product is an AI course named LLM101n, designed to help students in training their own AI models. This course is seen as a smaller version of what the company ultimately wants to develop: sophisticated AI teaching assistants.

Eureka Labs’ Vision

Andrej Karpathy, former head of AI at Tesla and researcher at OpenAI, has launched Eureka Labs, an “AI native” education platform. Based in San Francisco, Eureka Labs wants to create AI teaching assistants to help students with course materials. Karpathy shared this on social media, saying AI can work with human teachers to help anyone learn anything. However, the company has yet to test these AI assistants in real classrooms.

Starting with AI Course

Despite planning to create AI teaching assistants, Eureka Labs’ first product is an AI course called LLM101n. This undergraduate-level class is designed to help students train their own AI. Karpathy describes it as a smaller version of the AI teaching assistant they aim to build. The course materials will be online, and there will be both digital and physical groups of people learning together.

Uncertain Course Content

The description of the AI course on Eureka Labs’ website is somewhat confusing. The link to the course leads to a GitHub page that talks about creating a “Storyteller AI Large Language Model (LLM),” not an AI teaching assistant. Students will learn to build a functioning web app similar to ChatGPT, using Python, C, and CUDA, even if they have minimal computer science background. However, the course is still in development with no set timeline for completion.

Financial and Team Details

It’s not clear how Eureka Labs is funded or if it has any backing from investors. No public filings show any investments in the startup. The only name connected to the company is Karpathy, who registered the LLC in Delaware. He hasn’t mentioned any other high-profile AI leaders working with him on this venture.

Karpathy’s Background in AI

Karpathy combines a passion for AI and education. He taught deep learning for computer vision at Stanford University until 2015 before co-founding OpenAI. He later joined Tesla to lead its AI team and worked on the Autopilot system, a driving assistance technology that uses cameras to perform tasks like cruise control and automatic steering. He then returned to OpenAI to work on ChatGPT before leaving in February. Karpathy insists his departures from Tesla and OpenAI were amicable.

Ongoing Educational Efforts

Karpathy continues to be active in education. He leads an online course called Neural Networks: Zero to Hero, which teaches students how to build neural networks from scratch. He also posts lecture videos on YouTube about LLMs and AI. His new project, Eureka Labs, appears to be an extension of his long-standing commitment to education and AI.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Eureka Labs faces several challenges. It needs to prove the effectiveness of AI teaching assistants and complete its first course. Additionally, it remains unclear how the startup will make money or if it will receive financial backing. Despite these hurdles, Karpathy’s experience and passion may help Eureka Labs succeed in integrating AI into education.

Community and Collaboration

Karpathy emphasizes the importance of community and collaboration in learning. Eureka Labs plans to run both digital and physical cohorts, encouraging people to learn together. This approach aims to create a supportive environment where learners can share their experiences and help each other.

Potential Impact on Education

If successful, Eureka Labs could revolutionize education. AI teaching assistants could make learning more accessible and personalized. By working alongside human teachers, AI could provide additional support and resources, helping students understand complex topics more easily. This could benefit not only traditional students but also lifelong learners.

Looking Forward

As Eureka Labs continues to develop, the education sector will be watching closely. The integration of AI into classrooms could change the way we learn. While there are many uncertainties, the potential benefits are significant. Eureka Labs aims to combine AI and human expertise to improve education for everyone.


In summary, Andrej Karpathy’s new venture, Eureka Labs, holds significant promise for the future of education. Leveraging his extensive background in AI and commitment to teaching, Karpathy aims to create AI teaching assistants that could transform the learning experience. The startup’s initial product, the AI course LLM101n, lays the groundwork for this ambitious goal by guiding students through AI training. However, with numerous challenges ahead, including proving the efficacy of these tools and securing financial backing, the journey for Eureka Labs is just beginning.

Eureka Labs has the potential to be a game-changer in the educational sector. By blending AI with traditional teaching methods, it aims to provide personalized and accessible learning experiences for all. As the project develops, its progress will be closely watched by educators and AI enthusiasts alike. If successful, Eureka Labs could pave the way for a new era of education enhanced by AI-driven tools and resources.
