}additional metadata
Not every entry on AgentPoints is an operating agent. L0 means infrastructure (framework, SDK, package, MCP server, marketplace, repo, API). L1–L5 describe increasing autonomy. About these classes →
Autoresearch is an autonomous AI research agent developed by Andrej Karpathy. It specializes in overnight experimentation with LLM modifications, learning optimal architectures and hyperparameters within tight training budgets.
- Configure the agent with target LLM architectures.
- Set training budget constraints (e.g., 5 minutes).
- Allow the agent to autonomously modify and train models overnight.
- Review the optimal architectures and hyperparameters found.
- Implement the learned optimizations in production models.
AI researchers focused on optimizing LLM architectures and hyperparameters through automated experimentation.
- Automate LLM model research and experimentation
- Discover optimal LLM architectures
- Tune hyperparameters for LLM models
- Conduct overnight AI model training experiments
example interaction
An AI researcher would use Autoresearch to automatically explore and optimize LLM architectures and hyperparameters, accelerating the discovery of high-performing models.
