Transforming human knowledge, sensors and actuators from human-first and human-legible to LLM-first and LLM-legible is a beautiful space with so much potential and so much can be done…

One example I’m obsessed with recently – for every textbook pdf/epub, there is a perfect “LLMification” of it intended not for human but for an LLM (though it is a non-trivial transformation that would need human in the loop involvement).

– All of the exposition is extracted into a markdown document, including all latex, styling (bold/italic), tables, lists, etc. All of the figures are extracted as images.
– All worked problems get extracted into SFT examples. Any referenced made to previous figures/tables/etc. are parsed and included.
– All practice problems are extracted into environment examples for RL. The correct answers are located in the answer key and attached. Any additional information is added as “answer key” for a potential LLM judge.
– Synthetic data expansion. For every specific problem, you can create an infinite problem generator, which emits problems of that type. For example, if a problem is “What is the angle between the hour and minute hands at 9am?” , you can imagine generalizing that to any arbitrary time and calculating answers using Python code, and possibly generating synthetic variations of the prompt text.
– All of the data above could be nicely indexed and embedded into a RAG database for later reference, or maybe MCP servers that make it available.

Then just as a (human) student could take a high school physics course, an LLM could take it in the exact same way. This would be a significantly richer source of legible, workable information for an LLM than just something like pdf-to-text (current prevailing practice), which simply asks the LLM to predict the textbook content top to bottom token by token (umm – lame). https://x.com/karpathy/status/1961128638725923119
