Autoresearch clearly explained (why it matters)

Andre Karpathy, I mean, one of the godfathers AI has just launched something called auto research. And auto research is a huge deal, and it's going viral on Twitter. And I just wanted to do an episode where I can explain to you in the clearest way possible what it is, what are the use cases, how to make money from it, how to be more productive with it, how to create impact with it. And by the end of this episode, I'm gonna give you a bunch of different ideas, use cases for how to use auto research. I'm gonna explain it to you in the most clear way possible, and at the end, I'm gonna tell you how you can actually get started with it. So let's go right into it. Just podcast. It's shifting time, baby. So what is auto research? Well, it's like having a super nerd robot intern that runs science experiments on a AI models for you all night without you doing the boring stuff. I mean, sounds intriguing. Right? So how do you actually, you know, program it or get started with it? Well, the first thing is you gotta give it a goal. So you can say something like, make this small AI model smarter. That's the goal. And then an AI agent will actually plan what to do, like different settings, code changes, edits the Python code for you, runs a short training experiment on a GPU, for about five minutes. It reads the results. It and then it decides what to change next and to repeat the loop. So in some ways, you know, if you've seen my video on the Ralph loop where it basically would do engineering twenty four seven and you'd wake up to new stuff happening. In simplest terms, that's what auto research is helping, you you know, it do. You give it a goal. The AI agent does a thing. You know? You tell the AI what better means, cheaper leads, more clicks, higher sales, better model school, and then the AI keeps changing things, testing them, and it only saves the changes that improve. So what's really cool about it is you wake up, you grab the best version, and then hopefully you turn it into something you charge for or, you know, you give it away. I saw this tweet by Toby who's the, CEO and cofounder of Shopify. Auto research works even better for optimizing any piece of software. Make an auto folder, add a program MD. That's just a markdown file, which is really the foundation of what'll you know, how you're gonna be using auto research. And a bench script, make a branch, and let it rip. So that's why I started paying attention to auto research, right? When Andrej Karpathy legend and Toby and, and, and more people, you know, start playing with it, I'm like, okay, I gotta pay attention. So I created this little visual for, for …
