This guy emailed me asking for a *token session refund* because his claw made mistakes. 🙃





Caught up with @karpathy for a new @NoPriorsPod: on the phase shift in engineering, AI psychosis, claws, AutoResearch, the opportunity for a SETI-at-Home like movement in AI, the model landscape, and second order effects 02:55 - What Capability Limits Remain? 06:15 - What Mastery of Coding Agents Looks Like 11:16 - Second Order Effects of Coding Agents 15:51 - Why AutoResearch 22:45 - Relevant Skills in the AI Era 28:25 - Model Speciation 32:30 - Collaboration Surfaces for Humans and AI 37:28 - Analysis of Jobs Market Data 48:25 - Open vs. Closed Source Models 53:51 - Autonomous Robotics and Atoms 1:00:59 - MicroGPT and Agentic Education 1:05:40 - End Thoughts



Introducing LiteParse - the best model-free document parsing tool for AI agents 💫 ✅ It’s completely open-source and free. ✅ No GPU required, will process ~500 pages in 2 seconds on commodity hardware ✅ More accurate than PyPDF, PyMuPDF, Markdown. Also way more readable - see below for how we parse tables!! ✅ Supports 50+ file formats, from PDFs to Office docs to images ✅ Is designed to plug and play with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and any other AI agent with a one-line skills install. Supports native screenshotting capabilities. We spent years building up LlamaParse by orchestrating state-of-the-art VLMs over the most complex documents. Along the way we realized that you could get quite far on most docs through fast and cheap text parsing. Take a look at the video below. For really complex tables within PDFs, we output them in a spatial grid that’s both AI and human-interpretable. Any other free/light parser light PyPDF will destroy the representation of this table and output a sequential list. This is not a replacement for a VLM-based OCR tool (it requires 0 GPUs and doesn’t use models), but it is shocking how good it is to parse most documents. Huge shoutout to @LoganMarkewich and @itsclelia for all the work here. Come check it out: llamaindex.ai/blog/liteparse… Repo: github.com/run-llama/lite…
