Bilevel Autoresearch: Meta-Autoresearching Itself

If autoresearch is itself a form of research, then autoresearch can be applied to research itself. We present Bilevel Autoresearch, a bilevel framework in which an outer autoresearch loop improves an inner autoresearch loop by reading its code and traces, identifying bottlenecks, and generating injectable Python search mechanisms at runtime. The inner loop optimizes task performance; the outer loop optimizes how the inner loop searches. Both loops use the same LLM, so improvements come from the bilevel architecture rather than a stronger meta-level model, although the outer loop consumes additional inference and wall-clock budget. On Karpathy's GPT pretraining benchmark, the meta-autorese...
