Frontis-MA1: Training an AI4AI Model towards Recursive Self-Improvement in Machine Learning Engineering
Horizon Research, Frontis.AI, Tsinghua University
Frontis-MA1 (35B) is a meta-evolution agent post-trained around four program-evolution operators (Draft, Improve, Debug, Crossover) inside OpenMLE, an open full-stack recursive self-improvement testbed for machine learning engineering with verifiable execution feedback.
