AutoResearch - AI Build & Learn #4
Details
Welcome to AI Build & Learn a weekly AI engineering stream where we pick a new topic and learn by building together.
- RSVP on the Luma to get direct live links and better reminders
- You can always find the live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sagecodes
This event is about AutoResearch from Andrej Karpathy
> The idea: give an AI agent a small but real LLM training setup and let it experiment autonomously overnight. It modifies the code, trains for 5 minutes, checks if the result improved, keeps or discards, and repeats. You wake up in the morning to a log of experiments and (hopefully) a better model.

Community challenge (optional)
Try spending 30–90 minutes during the week learning or building something related to the topic, then share what you’re working on in Slack.
Note on Flyte / Union
You may see Flyte used in some demos. Flyte is an open-source AI orchestration platform maintained by Union (where I work) for building scalable, durable, and observable AI workflows. You do not need to use Flyte to participate.
