I Let Karpathy’s AutoResearch Agent Run Overnight! | HackerNoon

Andrej Karpathy’s viral autoresearch repo automates the most tedious part of machine learning: the trial-and-error experiment loop. By simply writing research goals in a markdown file, you can set an AI agent loose to modify code, run 5-minute training batches, and log the results. After leaving it running overnight, the agent completed 40+ experiments and made surprisingly creative architectural tweaks proving that the future of ML is less about manually tuning parameters and more about writing great instructions for AI agents.
