“And in step 15 we use the vanilla”
“outer loop and compare that to the best agent we found inner loop agent we found in first 50 steps and what we found is the inner loop step”
“forty seven I think eventually it converge slightly faster than previous art loop but eventually the solution they found have a similar performance so that's also the reason we didn't claim we reached the level two recursive self-improvement which is like the improver managed to improve its own capability of thing”Play from 41:43Report a misattribution
