Part 7/12:
Visualizing the progression, the researchers show a "family tree" of models, starting from a human-designed baseline called Deltanet. Over successive generations, the AI-produced models evolved rapidly, with some models (marked in blue) surpassing human performance benchmarks. Strikingly, the experiment uncovered a design—the Pathgate Fusion Net—that employed a hierarchical routing system previously considered unstable or unfeasible by human engineers. Yet, AI's insight made this architecture work in practice, illustrating its capacity to think beyond human limitations.
