AI Agent Autonomously Reproduces and Improves Paper in 5 Days, 1100+ Actions
CodeByPoonam · x · 2026-08-05
A recent test demonstrates the astonishing potential of AI agents in long-horizon, complex research tasks. Given nothing but a research paper and some GPUs, the agent worked autonomously for about 5 days.
During this period, it executed over 1,100 actions, wrote 7,600 lines of code, and ran 33 rounds of GPU training. Ultimately, it not only successfully reproduced all six findings of the paper but even improved upon the original method.
