Karpathy Open-Sources AutoResearch: 700 Experiments in 2 Days
AutoResearch is a 630-line open-source Python framework by Andrej Karpathy that enables AI agents to autonomously design, run, and evaluate machine learning experiments. Released on March 6, 2026 under the MIT license, it completed roughly 700 experiments in two days during Karpathy's initial run -- producing 20 additive improvements and cutting the "Time to GPT-2" leaderboard from 2.02 hours to 1.80 hours. That is an 11% gain discovered entirely by an AI agent, with zero human intervention during the experimental loop. TL;DR Karpathy open-sourced AutoResearch — a 630-line Python framework...
