A new experimental project by an OpenAI co-founder has created an AI system capable of autonomously running experiments to improve its own models. Andrej Karpathy’s “autoresearch” project allows the AI agent to modify and test training code, proposing changes and evaluating results without human intervention. The AI ran hundreds of experiments, gradually improving the model step by step. This technology is seen as a sign that AI may soon surpass human intelligence and begin self-improvement, sparking predictions from tech leaders about a potential 2026 “year of the Singularity.”
