"The term was coined in February by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, who came up with the name to represent how AI can let some programmers "forget that the code even exists" and "give in to the vibes" while making a computer program. It was one of 10 words on a shortlist to reflect the mood, language and preoccupations of 2025."
"By giving an AI tool a simple description such as "make me a program that schedules my weekly meals", people can use "vibe coding" to make basic apps without any previous programming knowledge. More complicated tools still require skill, but the practice has opened up creating digital platforms to non-coders. As many have discovered, it isn't perfect - with no guarantee the code will actually work or be free of bugs."
Collins Dictionary named vibe coding word of the year, defining it as creating apps or websites by describing them to artificial intelligence instead of writing code manually. OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy coined the term to capture how AI can let programmers forget that the code even exists and give in to the vibes while building programs. Vibe coding lets people generate basic applications from simple prompts, lowering barriers for non-coders, though complex tools still require programming skill and AI-generated code can be buggy or unreliable. Collins also highlighted other popular terms of 2025 such as clanker, aura farming and broligarchy.
