Karpathy: Just 'Rip Out' What You Need — DeepWiki + Bacterial Code and the Software Malleability Revolution
Andrej Karpathy shares how he used DeepWiki MCP + GitHub CLI to have Claude 'rip out' fp8 training functionality from torchao's codebase — producing 150 lines of self-contained code in 5 minutes that actually ran 3% faster. He introduces the 'bacterial code' concept: low-coupling, self-contained, dependency-free code that agents can easily extract and transplant. His punchline: 'Libraries are over, LLMs are the new compiler.'
Karpathy: Stop Installing Libraries — Let AI Agents Surgically Extract What You Need
Karpathy: AI agents (DeepWiki MCP + GitHub CLI) can surgically extract library functionality, eliminating full dependency installs. Claude extracted fp8 from torchao in 5 min, 150 lines, 3% faster. "Libraries are over, LLMs are the new compiler." Future: "bacterial code."
