As a researcher with a strong background in AI and machine learning from my time at Tesla and OpenAI, I find Andrej Karpathy’s new venture, Eureka Labs, incredibly intriguing. His goal to create an “AI-native” school that uses generative AI to develop virtual teaching assistants is an exciting step towards making education more accessible and personalized for students around the world.
Andrei Karpathy, an accomplished figure in AI with previous roles at Tesla and OpenAI, unveiled Eureka Labs on July 16. This innovative startup is committed to creating a unique educational institution, specifically tailored for the AI-driven era.
The company aims to utilize generative AI technology to develop virtual tutors, enabling students to learn effectively from anywhere in the world and in any language.
At Eureka Labs, we aim to apply advanced AI technology to surmount conventional limitations in education, including geographic and linguistic barriers, all while preserving the intimate feel of face-to-face instruction.
I’m thrilled to unveil the establishment of Eureka Labs, my innovative AI-integrated education company.
Our declaration:—
At Eureka Labs, we are designing a novel learning experience that is deeply rooted in artificial intelligence technology.How can we create an optimal learning environment for acquiring new knowledge? For instance, consider…

According to Karpathy, recent progress in generative AI technology has made it practical to implement this educational model, overcoming the challenge of supplying individualized guidance from a limited number of expert teachers.
The initial product from the new company will be LLM101n: an undergraduate-level AI course. In this program, students will learn how to develop an AI model akin to the one used as the teaching assistant in the class. This flexible online course offers both digital and physical learning communities, enabling students to advance at their own pace within small study groups.
Human teachers will still create educational content, but they’ll be aided and expanded to larger student populations by sophisticated AI teaching aids, designed to assist students in navigating the material.
With his expertise in AI from Tesla and OpenAI, Karpathy contributes significantly to this new initiative. His vision is that if Eureka is successful, it will make learning accessible to a vast number of people, enabling them to explore various subjects extensively – going beyond current limitations without requiring self-study.
