Lambda's Claude Code experiment tracker enables autonomous AI research at CVPR 2026

Jul 11, 2026

At CVPR 2026, Lambda demonstrated Claude Code using its experiment tracker, the_lab.api, to autonomously teach Google's Gemma 4 to play a Tetris-like game. Over two and a half days, Claude Code iterated through 468 experiments without human intervention, improving the model from complete inability to competent play. The experiments ran on otherwise underutilized GPUs at zero additional compute cost.

Why it matters: This demo shows that AI agents can now autonomously conduct and track their own research experiments, potentially accelerating AI development by reducing the need for human parameter tuning.
