Autoresearch, Claude and Constrained Optimization
1 min read
A developer built an AI agent experiment using Claude Code on Sonnet 4.6 to iteratively improve a file compression algorithm in Rust. Over ten autonomous iterations costing about $4 each, the agent produced a custom LZSS implementation and added entropy checks. The project tested whether AI can handle constrained optimization problems with minimal supervision.
