What is autoresearch?

An open-source AI agent system by Karpathy that autonomously runs and improves ML models. Humans define quantifiable goals, AI loops through experiments: modify code → run validation → keep or rollback → repeat.

How is autoresearch different from CI/CD?

CI/CD ensures code correctness; autoresearch explores if code can be better. It's the offensive player to CI/CD's goalkeeper.

What tasks can autoresearch handle?

Any quantifiable optimization: test coverage, API response time, compile time, memory usage, ML accuracy. Key requirement: a command-line metric.
