Karpathy ships TristanTube, a filter of 47,000 videos
On 7 November 2026 Andrej Karpathy posted TristanTube, a filter built from Tristan Hume's YouTube tier list. The 47,000 count and the three-minute Claude Code claim are in the post, not in the page HTML this desk extracted.
On 7 November 2026, Andrej Karpathy posted TristanTube, at karpathy.ai/tristan-tube/. The post says Tristan Hume had published a list of YouTube channels earlier that week, and that Karpathy turned the list into a filter: 47,000 videos, plus a TV mode. The parenthetical in the post says it was one-shotted with Claude Code in 3 minutes.
The Hume post is dated 1 November 2026. It is an update, six years on, of a tier list he wrote in 2020. This desk opened that page. The extractor did not return a channel count. None is invented here.
This desk also opened TristanTube. The extractor returned the filter bar: S, A, B, C, D, under 10 minutes, 30 minutes or more, and a reshuffle control. The 47,000 figure is not in that HTML. It is in the post.
Karpathy’s post quotes his earlier HackerTube weekend hack. The repository already has a test story on HackerTube. TristanTube is the follow-up, not the same object.
