Andrej Karpathy's recent AI startup school talk described LLMs as "new computers programmed in English" with properties of operating systems. We built LLMunix to explore these concepts practically.
Core concept: Everything is defined in markdown documents that Claude interprets as functional system components - no traditional code, just natural language specifications.
Key experiments:
- Pure markdown OS where .md files become agents, tools, and system processes
- Sentient state architecture with behavioral constraints that evolve dynamically
- Memory-driven learning where each execution contributes to behavioral intelligence
- Agent/tool duality for autonomous workflows
Example: llmunix execute: "Monitor 5 tech sources and generate intelligence briefing" - the system adapts its approach based on API limitations, user sentiment, and historical patterns.
This is early-stage research into how far we can push natural language computing. The results suggest Karpathy's vision of LLM operating systems might be closer than expected.

Looking for feedback from the HN community on this approach to LLM-native computing.
