(Reuters) – Computer scientist Andrey Karpathy On Tuesday, he announced he would be launching an AI-integrated education platform called Eureka Labs, leveraging his years of experience at ChatGPT developer OpenAI and Tesla.
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the education platform has been leveraging the boom in generative artificial intelligence to improve and create digital learning content.
Teachers will design courses on Eureka Labs’ platform, but will be assisted by an AI teaching assistant to guide students through the learning material, Karpathy said in a post on X.
The company’s first product is LLM101n, an undergraduate-level class that helps students train their own AI models, similar to a scaled-down version of a teaching assistant.
Karpathy became one of the founding members of OpenAI in 2015, and two years later Tesla hired him as head of its self-driving division, where he worked on developing advanced driver assistance software.
“Eureka Labs is the culmination of my passion for AI and education that spans nearly two decades,” Karpathy said in the post.
Karpathy, who earned his doctorate from Stanford University, has been publishing content online exploring concepts related to AI for many years, starting with a tutorial video on how to solve a Rubik’s Cube.
