There's rightly a lot of excitement around Karpathy's autoresearch. We've been studying at ARG for a couple years now: what happens when you put an AI agent in a loop and let it run experiments, evaluate results, and iterate without you. We've built a bunch of benchmarks and tools to measure this. 🧵

Over the past ~2 years I’ve been working hard on agents, models, and datasets to understand what recursive self-improvement might look like, and what path supporting infrastructure for this line of research might take. Very excited to open source some of that work starting today

Very excited to launch this little tool that we’ve been building. ScoutML is an API built for AI researchers and agents that includes a ton of metadata on each paper. It’s been super helpful for us as we run our research agents internally. x.com/algoresearch...

A lot of ML tools help you implement. Not many help you think. When I’m exploring a new research direction, I don’t want another search engine or citation graph. I want something that’s actually read the literature, can suggest promising directions, and helps me reason through tradeoffs.

AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery. Today we published an essay about it: why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Here is a summary from an econ / social sci lens.

Important point that the open protocol makes extracting data from bluesky easy. Can't have it both ways. I like the protocol and think this site is well designed, but that means anyone can and will analyze these posts (if there is value to them, which I'm honestly less convinced of than some)

A dataset of 1 million or 2 million Bluesky posts is completely irrelevant to training large language models. The primary usecase for the datasets that people are losing their shit over isn't ChatGPT, it's social science research and developing systems that improve Bluesky.

I somehow ended up following a ton of OCaml people and now I’m like I should probably learn OCaml

I've created an initial Grumpy Machine Learners starter park. If you think you're grumpy and you "do machine learning", nominate yourself. If you're on the list, but don't think you are grumpy, then take a look in the mirror. go.bsky.app/6ddpivr
