Key details

• Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies.
• The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
• This repo is the story of how it all began.
• The idea: give an AI agent a small but real LLM training setup and let it experiment autonomously overnight.
