I packaged up the "autoresearch" project into a new self-contained minimal repo if people would like to play over the weekend. It's basically nanochat LLM training core stripped down to a single-GPU, one file version of ~630 lines of code, then:
- the human iterates on the prompt (.md)
- the AI agent iterates on the training code (.py)
The goal is to engineer your agents to make the fastest research progress indefinitely and without any of your own involvement. In the image, every dot is a complete LLM training run that lasts exactly 5 minutes. The agent works in an autonomous loop on a git feature branch and accumulates git commits to the training script as it finds better settings (of lower validation loss by the end) of the neural network architecture, the optimizer, all the hyperparameters, etc. You can imagine comparing the research progress of different prompts, different agents, etc.

Part code, part sci-fi, and a pinch of psychosis :)
用 AI agent 干了三个月活,最大的感受是执行不再是瓶颈。判断才是。
以前一个想法要落地,得找人、写代码、做设计。现在 Claude 写代码,Gemini 做调研,agent 自动跑流程。
但你有 10 个想法,AI 都能帮你做出来,哪个值得做?
以前执行成本高,逼着你想清楚再动手。现在成本低了,反而容易什么都试试。
AI 能帮你快速做出来,但做出来和有人要是两回事。想法多有优势,前提是你得知道哪些想法值得做。
市场要不要,这个 AI 帮不了你。
I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.
Block 一刀裁了 40%。Jack 写了封公开信,说 AI 让小团队能干大事。
评论区两派。一派说 AI 是借口,本质换血。另一派说时代趋势,不变就死。
我把 Jack 那封信拆了一遍。他先说补偿方案(让你不好意思骂),再说 AI 是大势(让你觉得是命),然后说"我也很痛苦"(让你心疼他)。一套下来,被裁的人甚至觉得 Jack 人还不错。
说"AI 是幌子"的那些人呢?用的是另一套。愤怒加嘲讽,读完很爽,啥也没学到。
我自己每天用 AI agent 干活,一个人顶以前一个小团队。提效是真的。但"提效"和"裁一半人"之间差了十万八千里。Jack 选了对股价最好的那个选项,然后包装成"诚实"。
别争 AI 是不是借口了。该想的是:你手里有没有 AI 干不了的东西?
