78 Astra agents tune Stockfish weights for 3+ days, provisional +11 Elo gain
imjustnewatai · x · 2026-11-09
A user ran 78 Astra agents for over 3 days to tune Stockfish network weights. The candidate leads a match 97–91 after 188 games (49W/96D/43L), an estimated +11 Elo — but the statistical lower bound is still -42 Elo, so the advantage remains unproven. Notable as a multi-agent autonomous optimization experiment.
