Why needed
Moonshot AI's February 2025 paper demonstrated ~2× computational efficiency over AdamW at 5.7T-token scale — a significant result that emerged from Karpathy's own benchmark. The Views on AI Future section covers safety, AGI timelines, and Software 3.0, but has no entry on his views about optimizer research or low-level training infrastructure. If Karpathy commented on Muon's industrial success, it would reveal his thinking about the research frontier in optimization.

Follow-up from Issue #61: What is the Muon optimizer and what role did the nanoGPT speedrun play in its development?
