We dive into MLE Bench, a 75-challenge test designed to push AI agents to design experiments, build models, and debug code across vision and language tasks. Learn how scaffolding systems (like Aid) help AI competitors, why multiple attempts boost performance, and what the results say about AI vs. human ML engineers. We also tackle data leakage, the impact of hardware, and what this means for the future of AI-assisted machine learning.
