Bounded self-improvement

Source-review candidate

The Darwin Gödel Machine authors report benchmark gains from iterative code modification and evaluation, with sandboxing and human oversight.

Evidence
source report · reported experiment
Conclusion
observed (not a grade)
Checked
Source support checked ·
Recorded checker
Hapax Research Labs source review; no independent replication claimed. The checker is quoted as recorded; the record uses an earlier form of the lab’s name.
Scope
Coding benchmarks in the reported Darwin Gödel Machine experiment; not deployment-wide or economy-wide.

This supports bounded self-improvement; it does not establish an autonomous, general research loop or independent replication by this lab.

The next question is whether the reported gains transfer to a different task distribution under a declared evaluation protocol. This source check alone does not answer it.
