Worked Proof shown

A multi-GPU version of Karpathy's autoresearch loop

Claude Code helped build a multi-GPU version of Karpathy's autoresearch loop that ran autonomous hyperparameter experiments on two RTX 4090s.

The full story

The poster built an n-autoresearch loop, a multi-GPU take on Karpathy's autoresearch, with Claude Code. A one-hour run on two RTX 4090s did autonomous hyperparameter mutation and parallel experiments without supervision.

It ran 17 experiments with no crashes, improving the baseline from 1.2365 to 1.2182 val_bpb, a 1.48% gain. The poster notes the 4090's 24GB of VRAM forced batch_size=4, so the GPU spends much of its time waiting on memory transfers.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
