Scaling Karpathy's Autoresearch: What Happens When the Agent Gets a GPU Cluster
Karpathy's autoresearch runs one experiment at a time. We gave it access to our GPU infra and let it run experiments in parallel.

Karpathy's autoresearch runs one experiment at a time. We gave it access to our GPU infra and let it run experiments in parallel.
Coding agents working from code alone generate shallow hypotheses. Adding a research phase — arxiv papers, competing forks, other backends — produced 5 kernel fusions that made llama.cpp CPU inference 15% faster.
