PrimeIntellect has released data from the largest open experiment to date on how frontier models perform AI research autonomously.
Key Findings & Details:
- Experiment Setup: 100+ autonomous runs across 10+ models, sandboxed on 8xH200s for up to 8 days, iterating on the nanoGPT optimizer track.
- Performance: The best runs closed 82% of the gap to a record built by dozens of humans over months.
- Open Data: Full traces, scratchpads, and reasoning streams from open-weight models have been released, providing valuable data for startups working on autoresearch.
