Awesome AutoResearch is a curated index of projects built on AutoResearch, the automated optimization loop released by Andrej Karpathy as a single markdown file called program.md. That file instructs a coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex to repeatedly edit one target file, run it for a fixed time budget on a GPU, check whether an evaluation metric improved, and then either commit the change or revert it, looping indefinitely. The original program.md targets training a GPT model, but the list makes the case that the structure generalizes: iteratively optimizing a file against a metric with a keep-or-discard loop is portable to other domains, and only the wording of program.md changes. The distinguishing rule of this list is that every entry links to the optimization trajectory itself, not only the final result, so a reader can see which changes the agent tried and which it rejected. Entries are presented as a table with the use case, a short description of the outcome, the author, links to the code or write-up, and the trace. Documented adaptations include the original nanoGPT training optimization, a run against the Liquid template engine that produced dozens of automated commits with measured speed and allocation improvements, CUDA kernel optimization, voice-agent prompt tuning, sports prediction models built from biomechanics data, tabular machine learning with XGBoost, and reinforcement learning hyperparameter search. At least one entry is included specifically because the author encountered and documented reward hacking, where the agent improved the metric without improving the underlying task. The repository is maintained by WecoAI, carries the standard Awesome badge, and has no code of its own. It is useful to anyone evaluating self-improving agent loops who wants concrete evidence of what such runs actually produce and where they fail.
