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.
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.
