Autotune uses an agent and Optuna to tune any training script with one command
RobertTLange · x · 2026-07-27
Autotune is a CLI that combines an agent with Optuna to automate hyperparameter optimization for any training script.
- Point it at a training script and the agent reads the code, proposes a search space, and generates a compatible runner.
- Optuna then handles the search trials, while the agent can iteratively refine the space.
- The author argues that plain hyperparameter tuning can already match or beat more ambitious “autoresearch” setups, and Autotune bridges the two approaches.
- The example workflow is a single command: autotune run <train.ext> --trials 50 --agent codex.
The attached chart compares different ablation setups and shows the project’s progress on a benchmark run.
