Larry Dial(@classiclarryd):AI Agent literature/web review can get much better. It was peculiar to see how under-the-radar the NanoGPT Speedrun was for agents during Parameter Golf. Many objective improvements, like faster RopE, were not copied. SmearGate was copied incorrectly, and only fixed after a month. Several others were copied in the last couple days, often by the original speedrun author. Even the attributions were not aware of the NanoGPT origins.
