I think the only thing that gives me pause is the fact that they SFT on Opus 4.5 explanations as a pertaining step. But, generally I agree, especially given the auto encoder is only seeing a single token activation!

I believe that’s _part_ of the point (or at least a side-effect) of the KL divergence loss term they have on the AV. That and training stability.

I can believe that in the long run.

Does the agent have access to arxiv (a brief skim of the README didn't have an answer)? If not, it could be that the current approach of relying on the model's weights only is resulting in the perceived local optimum of hyperparameter tuning.

Anecdotally, we built a little MCP for arxiv to help with our internal research, noticed a significant boost in the diversity of methods (architecture or otherwise) Claude and friends were able to reference.

Hm, that's fair. It does feel like there's low hanging fruit in combining "old school" methods for conducting a hyperparameter sweep efficiently _with_ the higher level architecture edit ability of Autoresearch.

Probably would cut the number of runs down by a significant number (as far as I can tell it's doing a grid search once it decides to mess with a knob or section of the architecture).

I feel like most of this recent Autoresearch trend boils down to reinventing hyper-parameter tuning. Is the SOTA still Bayesian optimization when given a small cluster? It was ~3 years ago when I was doing this kind of work, haven't kept up since then.

Also, shoutout SkyPilot! It's been a huge help for going multi-cloud with our training and inference jobs (getting GPUs is still a nightmare...)!

Glad you liked it!

Currently the avatar does it based on the text, which maps the incoming audio to one of our emotion codes, biasing the generation to that emotion. It's not foolproof, but we've found it works pretty well in practice.

I'm interpreting this as "uv was built off of years of PEPs", which is true; that being said the UX of `uv` is their own, and to me has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend thinking about requirements, modules, etc.

Running into "no healthy upstream" when navigating to the link -- hug of death maybe?

been lurking for most of my adult life (and it shows :-))

Thanks HN! You make me smarter every (other) day.
