This content details an experiment using AI agents for training optimization and model compression, showing that tight scoping prevents task drift. The authors open-sourced their bash-wrapped Codex loop and techniques for compressing a 2.5 TB model to fit consumer GPUs.
Highlights
Autoresearch agents require tight scoping to avoid drifting into unrelated tasks.
The authors open-sourced a bash-wrapped Codex loop enforcing A/B testing.
Experiment 2 compressed a 2.5 TB Kimi-k2.5 model to fit on 8x RTX 3090s.
The bottleneck for autonomous AI research is infrastructure, not intelligence.
Testing different LLMs revealed varying behaviors in autonomous research loops.
