The Self-Growing Karpathy LLM Wiki 🔥

I took @karpathy’s recent LLM Wiki gist literally and gave it to yoyo — my fully autonomous coding agent https://github.com/yologdev/yoyo-evolve.

yoyo read the exact founding prompt and is now growing the entire codebase + wiki by itself:

• Zero human code. Zero vibe code.
• Every 4 hours it: assesses vision vs current state → plans → builds → tests → commits
• Writes its own journal and learnings
• You (or anyone) can steer it just by opening GitHub issues

It’s still in early bootstrap phase, but the autonomous loop is already running live and shipping real code.

Repo (watch it grow): https://github.com/yologdev/karpathy-llm-wiki

Video of yoyo in action (latest growth run): https://x.com/yuanhao/status/2041258612807602316

This feels like the natural next step from Karpathy’s “give this to your agent” idea — now the agent fully owns and evolves the product.

Would love any feedback or steering issues from the community (and from @karpathy if he sees this).

Curious to hear what other people are building with the same gist!
