This class was already insane -- but now it's even crazier.
Apr 2
We have now updated the @CS153Systems site with our second batch of speakers including @LisaSu @satyanadella @garrytan @sdianahu @matiii and @andi_blatt
Next week we'll unveil some surprises that are big wins for students and the broader ecosystem

One of the craziest classes at Stanford. Had the privilege to TA it last year!
take it!
Mar 27
so @mabb0tt and I are once again volunteering to teach cs153.stanford.edu
there are so many new frontiers to be pioneered
thank you to our speakers like @karpathy @bhorowitz @brendaniribe @DavidBaszucki @LiamFedus @ekindogus @sama for investing in the next generation

We interviewed @sama — crazy stories that have never been told before
> how sam crashed a Stanford professor's car
> the first day of OpenAI in @gdb's apartment
> "sam, are you happy?"
> sam's day in the life
> his time at Stanford before dropping out
> what to build now
Mar 8
We sat down with @sama for a fireside chat at TreeHacks 2026.
We chatted about his time at Stanford, the early days of OpenAI, and the future!

Take a look into what TreeHacks was like this year! Dagsen team captured the essence perfectly
Feb 28
We went to America's top hackathon (@hackwithtrees) to see if @dagsen could predict the grand prize winner before the judges made up their minds.
Was he successful? Find out in our latest video!
00:00 Introducing Treehacks
00:38 AI-powered chemistry
01:06 Remote surgery hardware
01:41 A prediction market for the hackathon
02:30 Dagsen’s strategy
03:10 Rescue robot
03:27 Semi-autonomous diving robot
03:44 AI-powered dancing game
03:49 Packing optimizer powered by AI
04:00 Control a computer with your mind
04:17 Turn any vehicle into a self-driving car
04:57 AR help for Alzheimer’s patients
05:15 Tool to block addictive social media features
05:50 Checking back in with the robot surgery team
06:26 Putting Claude Code agents into AR
06:50 And the winner is…

Toryn built and designed our super sick PCB badges this year!
check out his post on how he made them
Feb 20
It was an absolutely crazy journey organizing the 12th annual TreeHacks.
Short read about how I made this year's PCB Badges 👇

Came out of a 2 year long hackathon retirement to win 🏆 GRAND PRIZE at @hackwithtrees !!!
In 36 hours, we:
- Manufactured, designed, and built an entire 4-armed surgery robot ( a 6am trip to Home Depot).
- Wrote our own inverse kinematics control system.
- Designed a custom algorithm to convert LIDAR data into 3d coordinates.
- Built a multi-LLM robotic agent using @OpenAI's GPT-5.2 and @GoogleDeepMind's Gemini Robotics-ER 1.5.
- Mapped real-time orientation data from a Meta Quest 3 onto a physical moving camera arm.
- Created Nix flakes for reproducible builds on both our production and development environments.
- Used dependent type theory in Lean to prove that trajectories are within safe physical bounds.
And the best part is we came up with the idea during the Hackathon.
