Autoresearch agents independently hit 98% memory reduction

A Reddit experiment involving two NVIDIA DGX Spark units running Andrej Karpathy's `autoresearch` repo found that independent AI agents independently converged on the same 98% memory reduction and accuracy improvements. This demonstrates the efficiency of autonomous architectural optimization within a strict 5-minute training budget.

// ANALYSIS

The "racing" of these two agents proves that Karpathy's hill-climbing approach is stable and repeatable, finding a "natural" solution for the given metric and hardware. Both agents independently discovered that reducing model depth and batch size allowed for more optimizer steps in a fixed time window, achieving a 98% memory reduction from 43.9GB to ~2.1GB while improving val_bpb from 1.82 to 1.22. This highlights the vast overhead in standard baselines and demonstrates how the NVIDIA DGX Spark's GB10 Blackwell architecture enables rapid, hardware-aware architectural optimization.
