Adaption AI launches AutoScientist for automated model training

0

Adaption AI launched AutoScientist to automate the full research loop for model training and alignment. The system iteratively co-optimizes data and training recipes until convergence on user objectives. Beta tests showed 35 percent average gains over human-led runs, with win rates rising from 48 percent to 64 percent across 5k to 100k sample datasets on Together AI architectures. The tool targets issues such as catastrophic forgetting and overfitting.

Introducing AutoScientist. Most model training fails outside of frontier labs. AutoScientist automates the full research loop so it doesn't have to.

@sarahookr @adaption_ai congrats on the release, @sarahookr ✨

Most model trainings have failed outside of frontier labs. Even inside frontier labs, knowing how to train for very different capabilities is often a matter of taste. Today, we introduce AutoScientist by @adaption_ai which sets out to change that.

We have been hard at work on this for the last few months.

I think a few things are very interesting, self-improvement for only model training alone is difficult unless you co-optimize with data.

Our work on adaptive data paved the way for incredibly exciting results here.

We have worked hard to release a beta of AutoScientist so you can try it for yourself. It is free for the next 30 days. This is an area of active research for us. Apply to our active research grants program if you want to help us evaluate some interesting problems here.

Was really fun talking to @russellbrandom at @TechCrunch about AutoScientist.

“For years, AI researchers have anticipated the moment when AI systems will be able to improve themselves better than humans could."

if I understand correctly, this is called "AutoScientist" but what it actually is is "AutoModelTrainer"?

some AI people have a really really narrow view on "science".
