Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Karpathy Wiki (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

What the Service Does

Karpathy Wiki is an informational website that curates, structures, and explains ideas related to persistent LLM knowledge systems, markdown workflows, and the "LLM wiki" pattern.

Service Disclosure

Karpathy Wiki is an independent reference site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI, Obsidian, or other third-party products referenced for explanatory purposes.

Reading the public site does not currently require an account. If account features are added later, additional rules may apply.

Your Data and Rights

• You retain rights in information you voluntarily submit through any future contact or feedback channel.
• You grant the operator a limited right to store and process that information solely to respond, operate the site, and improve the service.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for illegal, harmful, or abusive activity.
• Attempt to attack, scrape in a way that harms stability, reverse engineer private infrastructure, or bypass platform safeguards.
• Misrepresent the source material, attribution, or affiliation of the site.
• Reproduce the site in a misleading way that implies endorsement by the original authors.

Content and Attribution

• The site may quote, summarize, or reference third-party material.
• Ownership of third-party content remains with the original authors.
• You are responsible for checking primary sources before relying on the site for high-stakes technical, legal, financial, or medical decisions.

Payments

Karpathy Wiki does not currently offer public paid plans on the main site surface. If paid features are introduced later, billing terms will be published before those features go live.

Availability and Changes

We aim to keep the site available, but uptime can be affected by maintenance, infrastructure failures, or third-party dependencies. We may modify, remove, or expand content and features at any time.

Intellectual Property

The Karpathy Wiki site design, code, and original editorial framing are owned by their respective licensors. These Terms do not transfer ownership rights to you.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator of Karpathy Wiki is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or opportunity arising from use of the site.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator of Karpathy Wiki from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms.

Termination

We may block or rate-limit access if your use creates legal, operational, or security risk. You may stop using the Service at any time.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by applicable law in your jurisdiction unless local law requires otherwise. Disputes are resolved in courts with proper jurisdiction unless arbitration is required by law.

Contact

Questions about these Terms should be sent through the public contact channel published on the live site once available.
