Baidu released ERNIE Evolve, an automated research system that edits AI training and inference code and keeps only verified gains via two nested loops: a Director steering research directions with parallel code-evolution trees, plus a hidden Evaluator and Reviewer to reject eval-gaming candidates. It scored 0.8763 BPB on NanoChat AutoResearch, 38.9 s on NanoGPT Speedrun Track 1, and pushed Kunlunxin P800 inference to 623.6% of baseline. The system itself is not open-sourced; only final benchmark code and run logs were released.

    Baidu Unveils ERNIE Evolve to Auto-Evolve Training and Inference Code

    • Two nested loops: a Director picks directions and parallel lanes evolve code trees, while a hidden Evaluator scores candidates and a Reviewer discards eval-gaming ones
    • Hit 0.8763 BPB on NanoChat AutoResearch (best public 0.8878) and 38.9 s on NanoGPT Speedrun Track 1
    • Pushed Kunlunxin P800 inference to 623.6% of baseline and deterministic GPU throughput up 33.7%, though SOL-ExecBench 0.819 trails the 0.827 leader
