AutoResearcher

Karpathy open-sources AutoResearcher for autonomous ML experiments

Andrej Karpathy open-sourced AutoResearch, a framework that runs AI-driven ML experiments autonomously. Over two days it ran 700 experiments on nanochat GPT-2, stacked 20 improvements, and achieved an 11% training speedup. Tobi Lütke adapted it overnight for Shopify's Liquid templating engine for a 51% render-time improvement, and the repo hit 26K GitHub stars quickly.
