Astra and Opus checked his new technique, found the earlier work and ran the experiments

Handed code, data and a writeup to Astra and Opus 5.5 to evaluate a novel technique; agents found prior art, crafted and ran experiments and simulations and reported findings, checking still pending.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. He hands over code, data and a writeup
  2. The agents find the prior art
  3. Craft and run experiments and simulations
  4. Report the findings for checking

Why it’s worth knowing

They did not just read about it, they ran it.
