Autoresearch: "The snuggle is real" — evolving quadcopter frame geometry for Wh/km, with Claude as an occasional co-designer
An autoresearch loop — a genetic algorithm over fourteen genes of the real, open-source Source One V6 plate drawings, flown through six simulated weather scenarios, with Claude sitting in every few generations to propose designs from the run’s own telemetry — evolved a 7-inch frame that flies 16% more efficiently (Wh/km) than the stock champion.
