Most people use AI the same way they used Google in 2005

• Type something, read what comes back, type again

The AI sits there doing nothing until you push it - you are the engine - The AI is a wrench you pick up and put down between every turn.

That worked fine for two years. It does not work anymore.
The people getting 10x more out of AI right now are not writing better prompts and not using secret models.

They are building loops. And the person who made this idea impossible to ignore is Andrej Karpathy

This article will explain:

1 - from scratch what a loop is

2 - show you how to use them the way Andrej Karpathy does

3 - then describe a method to improve this approach by a factor of 5

4 - and provide tips for getting started.

Part 1 · The Basics

1.1 - What a loop actually is ?

A prompt is one instruction. You ask, you get an answer, you decide what to do next.

Anthropic Product Team:

"Most people throw more tokens at AI to get better results - we tested the opposite

• same tokens, different jobs. accuracy jumped from 15% to 90%"

4 jobs for your tokens:

execute → do the work

advise → check the direction

grade → pass or fail against a rubric

dream → inspect, learn, write to memory, sharpen next round

instead of one AI doing everything - split it into four: one works, one checks, one scores, one learns - same cost, but 5x better
