Interactive Demo

Autonomous Research Loop Simulator

Autonomous Research Loop Simulator is a free, interactive learning demo from the Autoresearch: Autonomous AI Research Framework course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Autonomous AI Agents, Fixed Time Budget Training, Validation Bits Per Byte (val_bpb), Agent-led Code Iteration. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 2 sliders and 1 button. This demo lives in the “Introduction to Autonomous Research Frameworks” section of the course.

How to use this demo

  1. Drag the “Simulation Speed” slider to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
  2. Use the “Start Research Loop” button to trigger actions or reset the demo.
  3. Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.

What you'll explore

Frequently asked questions

What does the Autonomous Research Loop Simulator demo do?

Overview of the Autoresearch philosophy, the fixed-time budget constraint, and the core evaluation metrics. Autonomous Research Loop Simulator turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.

What Autoresearch: Autonomous AI Research Framework concept does Autonomous Research Loop Simulator teach?

Overview of the Autoresearch philosophy, the fixed-time budget constraint, and the core evaluation metrics. It focuses on Autonomous AI Agents, Fixed Time Budget Training, Validation Bits Per Byte (val_bpb), Agent-led Code Iteration from the “Introduction to Autonomous Research Frameworks” section.

What can I control in Autonomous Research Loop Simulator?

The “Simulation Speed” slider change the key inputs; the “Start Research Loop” button run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.

How does Autonomous Research Loop Simulator fit into the Autoresearch: Autonomous AI Research Framework course?

Autoresearch is an experimental framework developed by Andrej Karpathy that enables AI agents to autonomously conduct LLM research by iteratively modifying training code. The system utilizes a fixed five-minute training… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Introduction to Autonomous Research Frameworks” section.

What will I understand better after using Autonomous Research Loop Simulator?

You'll build intuition for Autonomous AI Agents, Fixed Time Budget Training, Validation Bits Per Byte (val_bpb), Agent-led Code Iteration — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Autoresearch: Autonomous AI Research Framework alone.
