Google Just Quietly Dropped SELF IMPROVING AI Agent... Kaggle Gold Medals | MLE STAR

From the creator

πŸ”₯ Google’s MLE-STAR Just Changed the Game Google Research just released MLE-STAR, a state-of-the-art machine learning engineering agent that’s racking up gold medals on Kaggle and outperforming previous AI benchmarks β€” including OpenAI’s own agents. This video breaks down: -What MLE-STAR is and why it matters -How it tackles recursive self-improvement -The Kaggle competitions it's dominating -Why this could be a major step toward automated AI research We’ll also look at: -Key benchmark comparisons with OpenAI's models -Google’s novel scaffolding system and how it boosts performance -Real-world applications of machine learning agents today -This might be the clearest signal yet that AI is learning how to build better versions of itself. πŸ“š Links & Resources πŸ”— Full paper: https://research.google/blog/mle-star-a-state-of-the-art-machine-learning-engineering-agents/ https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.15692 πŸ† Kaggle Competitions: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions πŸ’¬ What do you think?

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional Β£25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
