Bake AI's blog details Épi, its self-evolving autonomous research framework, and its first results.
- Results: 120 record-setting findings in days — lowered the upper bound on Klarner's constant from 4.5238 to 4.29569; proved the Cohn–Elkies method cannot reach exact sphere-packing density in dimensions 10 and 11 even at its theoretical limit; produced an independently verified computer-assisted proof of a new case of Tuza's conjecture covering an infinite family of graphs.
- Mechanism: sessions carry forward best results and unfinished work, agents evolve their own strategies, verifiable environments validate improvements, and sandbox infrastructure enables deep and parallel exploration.
- Goal: make discovery cumulative — models provide capability, environments make progress verifiable, Épi turns compute into improvement.
