Hm, that's fair. It does feel like there's low hanging fruit in combining "old school" methods for conducting a hyperparameter sweep efficiently _with_ the higher level architecture edit ability of Autoresearch.

Probably would cut the number of runs down by a significant number (as far as I can tell it's doing a grid search once it decides to mess with a knob or section of the architecture).

I don't necessarily disagree, but am wondering whether you have any particular reason/intuition driving you to claim this. I have seen AI agents be quite creative in other tasks; do you think there's a particular reason why we shouldn't see creativity in architecture research, given enough time and resources?
