Case study published by the **Cornell AI Innovation Hub** (June 15, 2026): how a two-semester collaboration between the AI Hub, graduate students, and Cornell's Treasury team turned a time-consuming manual investigation into an AI tool that **recovered $100,000** in unidentified payments on a first batch. A successful **AI4Business** use case (financial process) that illustrates the **Leader-Lab-Crowd** framework of **Ethan Mollick** almost point by point: the **AI Hub** plays the role of the **Lab** (a central, ambidextrous team of technologists plus students); **Treasury** (Cheryl Barnes, Marie Graves…) is the **Crowd** carrying business knowledge and the real pain point; and the **$100,000** constitutes the **visible reward** (vivid win) that anchors adoption — exactly the incentive lever Mollick considers decisive. Key method: **"context first, then plan, then build"** via **Claude Code Plan Mode**, a chain of **fuzzy matching → Gemini Enterprise Web Search → Claude synthesis**, all within the governed **Cornell AI Gateway**. *"The $100,000 is a start."*

Interview with Andrej Karpathy (OpenAI co-founder, former Tesla Autopilot) moving from *vibe coding* to *agentic engineering*: December 2025 as the tipping point — "never felt more behind as a programmer" — the Software 1.0/2.0/3.0 taxonomy, the openclaw example (bash script → text to copy-paste into the agent) and MenuGen rendered obsolete by Gemini's Nanobanana, the *verifiability* theory explaining why LLMs are *jagged* (math/code peak, "walk 50m to the car wash" fails), the distinction between *vibe coding* (raise the floor) and *agentic engineering* (preserve the quality bar), the "animals vs ghosts" metaphor, the overhaul of hiring via agent-versus-agent projects, and the key formula: ***"You can outsource your thinking but you can't outsource your understanding."***
