In black, the regions that are poorer today than in 2014.

Andrej Karpathy: “A 1B model can be much more effective than most current LLMs. 90% of current models waste a ton of capacity and money on remembering stuff that doesn’t matter.” here is his 5 core thesis about Small LLM’s: 1. the intelligence was never the knowledge. Strip the memorized internet, keep the reasoning. What’s left is the cognitive core, and it’s small. 2. the core might fit in ~1B params. Maybe less. “Plenty of room at the bottom.” We’ve been paying for a library when we needed a brain. 3. size stopped being the bottleneck. What makes an agent work is the tools it can call and how tight the feedback loop is, not parameter count. 4. intelligence lives in the system, not the weights. A raw LLM is a CPU with no OS. Small core + good harness > giant model alone. 5. you can own it. A model on your hardware is one no one can rate-limit, price-hike, or deprecate on you. in 12 months the gap between teams shipping on-device and teams paying per-token frontier bills won’t be capability. TwIL an 8.8B model at 90%+ of frontier isn’t a benchmark flex. It’s the thesis Karpathy’s been repeating all year, made real. study more on this below ↓
