Karpathy Vibe Coding Full Tutorial with Cursor (Zero Coding)

Today we talked about the concept and execution of vibe coding, a method where you speak your coding ideas into existence using cutting‐edge AI tools. We explored how to use Cursor Composer alongside Sonnet and WhisperFlow to generate, edit, and run code with minimal manual intervention. The tutorial guided viewers through setting up a project from a Next.js template, cloning a repository, and managing API keys through an .env file to maintain secure credentials. Additionally, the video detailed the process of building a ChatGPT clone using the latest OpenAI API, complete with real-time debugging and iterative improvements on design elements such as input fields, sidebars, and smooth text animations. The discussion also emphasized the importance of keeping the AI prompt context minimal for optimal performance, and it provided insights on how to save and upload projects to GitHub effortlessly. Finally, we touched on integrating real-time voice interaction using the 11Labs API to further enhance the coding experience and pay homage to AI pioneers like Karpathy
