Software 2.0

And nobody can read them.

In 2017, Andrej Karpathy called this software 2.0, programs written in weights instead of words.

And he wrote that nobody writes it by hand, because coding directly in weights is kind of hard.

And then in brackets, I tried.

So my verdict, he's right about the hat.

Networks writing networks is his from 1991.

And he was saying the weights are the program 27 years before Karpathy called it software 2.0. And he's wrong that it's exactly the same because nobody in 91 had a network that could read another one and tell you in English what's wrong with it.

And in 2026, one just did.

A little bit of a fuzzy idea.

Well, we had all written down, all four of us co-founders, some concept of an IDE for Software 2.0. Software 2.0 is this term coined by Andrej Karpathy.

It's like software written by the weights of a neural network, written in the weights of a neural network rather than by hand, by a human.

And an IDE, it's like, how do you actually visualize the software? How do you edit it? How do you debug it? And so when you look at our product today, which is Silico, it's kind of similar.

Uh, how do I put this? The trainings are given to you so that way you can get started, but you have to stretch your imagination with artificial intelligence.

'Cause when this is Software 2.0, there is no language built into it, it's just data exchange, right? That's what Software 2.0 was.

The Software 3.0, now you're talking to the software, right? So nowadays you can talk with your data, talk to your documents, talk to your, uh, computer, talk to your database, right? You can do all sorts of things that Software 2.0 will say, you know, even if you give me six years, it's not gonna work, [laughs] right? But if you give me enough in Software 3.0 and three months later all of a sudden you have a mature system that talks back to you, right? But you have to allow that system to learn, go through the process, and then mature over time.

So, uh, I- I see a huge, uh, uh, pivot coming, which is that, you know, how do we get this into more people's hand, and how do we get the process to adjust to the capabilities, right? Um, because artificial intelligence has far more capability-

Right, and that's, that's transformation.
