Agents Start Auto-Editing Configs and Running Experiments

The focus here isn't the model itself, but how agents like **Sol** integrate into research and training workflows. - It can start from high-level ideas to **automatically edit configurations** and **launch experiments**. - The emphasis is that it acts more like a research assistant pushing ideas to the experimental phase, rather than an end-to-end fully automated system that finishes post-training for you. - The quote also mentions that GPT 5.6 is described as a "strong researcher," allowing users to "work at the idea level." Overall, it demonstrates how frontier models + agents can partially automate the ML R&D process.
