A blog post detailing how the author used Codex as an autonomous research loop—iterating over 1500 submissions across 14 days—to optimize a batched Householder QR decomposition CUDA kernel, placing 12th of 183 in a GPU Mode contest with a 232x speedup over baseline. It covers the math, the feedback-loop setup that made the problem 'auto-research-able', and lessons on escaping local optima via idea diversity.
