    - Key quotes/snippets:
    - "AI agents running research on single-GPU nanochat training automatically One day, frontier AI research used to be done by meat computers in between eating, sleeping, having other fun, and."
    - "Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies."
    - Limitations / unknowns:
    - Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.
    - Next-step validation checks:
    - Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
    - Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
