Salesforce AI Research published SFR-AutoR&D, a set of agents that run research loops end-to-end to improve codebases and train AI models. The system is now being used to train and improve production embedding models at Salesforce.
SFR-AutoR&D agents receive a goal, a target system, and a compute budget. They formulate hypotheses, implement changes, and run controlled experiments against baselines. Improvements are retained only when supported by evidence and proven accurate and safe.
