# autoresearch

An AI-powered autonomous research framework where an agent independently designs, executes, and evaluates machine learning experiments in a continuous loop. The human provides a goal as a markdown prompt; the agent writes training code, runs experiments, measures results, and iterates without human involvement. Popularized by Andrej Karpathy in March 2026 with a 630-line Python implementation that produced 110 autonomous LLM training iterations in 12 hours.
