This is a novel algorithm that bypasses backpropogation and makes it super easy to tune parameters that you cannot necessarily take the gradients of - think PID loops in a robot or ingredients in a recipe. It is all wrapped up in a nice little UI so you know what is going on too!

This project uses AI

I occasionally used Copilot to help with some funky QT stuff, but the whole algorithm is written by me.

Shipped this project!

I built an app that tunes parameters when you tell it how well it performs! It was tricky to actually get good gradient estimates, but it worked out in the end and I think it could be pretty revolutionary.

TESTING ALL OF THIS STUFF ON AN ACTUAL CLANKER LETS GOOO!!! (the ui works but the algo is actually kinda scuffed so i have to fix that ig)

Initial devlog. Nothing special here. Basic algo is in place, but it is far from good! Idk why this devlog includes time from before the challenge started tho lol
