"Are large language models (LLMs) our new operating systems? If so, they are changing the definition of what we consider to be software."
"LLMs are complex software ecosystems... have a few closed-source providers like Windows or Mac OS, with an open-source alternative like Linux."
"We're in this 1960s-ish era, where LLM compute is still very expensive for this new kind of computer..."
"Unlike current operating systems, a common graphical user interface has not been developed for LLMs."
Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI, compares large language models (LLMs) to operating systems, suggesting they represent a new kind of software paradigm. He notes the similarities between LLM ecosystems and traditional operating systems, highlighting a mix of closed-source and open-source models. However, high costs associated with LLM computing have led to their centralization in the cloud, preventing a true personal computing revolution. Unlike classic operating systems, LLMs currently lack a standardized graphical user interface, complicating user interaction with these advanced tools.
