Parameter Golf with AutoResearch — Vayum Arora, Zhengyao Jiang, Dixing Xu & Dhruv Srikanth, Weco AI Oct 11, 2026 · 34:13 Learn about AutoResearch: an agent-driven loop that automates code proposals and evaluations to optimize ML models. We demonstrate Mini Parameter Golf, a scaled-down challenge for inspecting complex optimization processes. 🔬 Google's AI Scientist Started as an Attempt to Automate Kaggle — John Platt, Google Fellow Sep 22, 2026 · 2:01:26 John Platt details ERA, an AI system that maps scientific problems into 'scorable tasks.' It combines LLMs with tree search (UCB) to automate hypothesis generation, accelerating discovery in fields like climate science. Vertical Mobility: Inference from MVP to Trillion-Parameter Workloads — Sitanshu Gupta, CoreWeave Sep 19, 2026 · 15:22 The inference platform supports two models: serverless (pay-per-token) and dedicated (billed per GPU hour). Optimization relies heavily on KV cache awareness and techniques like 4-bit quantization.
