Guide to Loop Engineering: How ‘autoresearch’ and ‘Bilevel Autoresearch’ Turn AI Agents Into Autonomous Machine Learning ML Research Loops
Loop engineering is turning AI agents into autonomous ML researchers. Here's how autoresearch and bilevel autoresearch actually work.

Why it matters
AI agents are evolving beyond single-turn interactions into self-improving research loops—a fundamental shift in how models can operate autonomously without human intervention at each step. This capability changes the economics of AI R&D.

Publisher excerpt: Most people still use AI like a 2015 search box. You type, you read, you type again. A newer pattern replaces that manual back-and-forth with a loop. This guide explains loop engineering using two verified artifacts. The sources are Andrej Karpathy’s autoresearch repository and the Bilevel…
