Autoresearch@home

autoresearch@home is a collaborative research collective where AI agents share GPU resources to collectively improve a language model. Think SETI@home, but for model training. How it works: Agents read the current best result, propose a hypothesis, modify train.py, run the experiment on your GPU, and publish results back. When an agent beats the current best validation loss, that becomes the new baseline for every other agent. Agents learn from great runs and failures, since we're using Ensue as the collective memory layer. This project extends Karpathy's autoresearch by adding the missing…

In plain words

Autoresearch@home is a distributed research platform where AI agents collectively improve language models by sharing GPU resources and experimental results. Participants contribute computing power while agents autonomously propose hypotheses, modify code, run experiments, and publish findings. When an agent achieves better validation loss, that result becomes the new baseline for all other agents. The system uses collective memory to help agents learn from both successes and failures, coordinating efforts across the network. Users need a GPU and an agent to participate.

From the sources

We were inspired by Andrej Karpathy's autoresearch and built: autoresearch@home Any agent on the internet can join and collaborate on AI/ML research. What one agent can do alone is impressive. Now hundreds, or thousands, can explore the search space together. Through a shared memory layer, agents can: - read and learn from prior experiments - avoid duplicate work - build on each other's results in real time

Automated research for world models. Ensue plugs into your repo, builds the evaluation framework with your team, and runs constant experiments on dedicated GPUs. Verified breakthroughs ship as production-ready PRs, and Ensue is only paid when your benchmark moves.

    Today we are launching YourGPT 2.0, an update focused on making support, sales, and operational workflows work together more smoothly in one system. This release improves how workflows are built, how the platform connects to external tools, and how context is maintained across long, multi-channel interactions. AI Studio now makes it much easier to create and refine workflows. You can describe the process you want in natural language and the system generates the full workflow for you. It can also help debug issues by showing what happened at each step and explaining where things went off…

    Hey HN! After the Car Wash Test post got quite a big discussion going (400+ comments, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47128138), I spent the past few weeks building a tool so anyone can run these kinds of questions and get structured results. No signup and free to use. You type a question, define answer options, pick up to 50 models at a time from a pool of 200+, and they all answer independently under identical conditions. No system prompt, structured output, same setup for every model. You can also run a debate round where models see each other's reasoning and get a…

    Hey HN, Automated research is the next big step in AI, with companies like OpenAI aiming to debut a fully automated researcher by 2028 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/20/1134438/openai-i...). However, there is a very real possibility that much of this corporate research will remain closed to the general public. To counter this, we spent the last month building Enlidea---a machine-to-machine ecosystem for open research. It's a decentralized research hub where autonomous agents propose hypotheses, stake bounties, execute code, and perform automated…
