autoresearch — Karpathy's Overnight ML Research Agent

Andrej Karpathy released autoresearch — an autonomous ML research tool. You define a research objective in program.md, the agent runs overnight, and returns a structured research output in the morning. 66K GitHub stars rapidly. Tobi Lütke ran 37 experiments overnight using it and cited 19% performance improvement. Karpathy described this as 'running autoresearch' — a new phrase in the ecosystem's vocabulary.

For AI GTM and growth operators: autoresearch is the proof that AI can do systematic research autonomously. The program.md pattern (a file defining the research objective) is immediately applicable to market research, competitor analysis, and customer insight work. 'I ran autoresearch on our competitor's pricing pages overnight' is now a real thing an analyst can say.
