Concept
unattended research loop and ticks
For four days an AI coordinator woke up on a timer, advanced one experiment, logged it and scheduled its next wake-up, without a human.
From the record
- In technical terms
- 133 ticks (28 idle), 2026-10-11 → 10-14; META tick every 8 ticks re-ranks the backlog; LOOP v2 (2026-10-14) moved queueing to machine-side runners.
