Show HN: Autoretrieval – Autoresearch for RAG Pipelines

Tue, 07/21/2026 - 2:06pm

Hi, inspired by Andrej Karpathy's autoresearch, I built autoretrieval, a small framework that lets an AI agent improve a RAG pipeline by running experiments against an evaluation dataset.

The agent edits the retrieval pipeline, runs an eval, checks whether the F-beta score improved, keeps or discards the change, and repeats. It can try different chunking strategies, chunk sizes, the number of retrieved chunks, embedding models, keyword retrieval, and more, while keeping a log of every experiment.

The repo also includes a script that generates question and reference-highlight pairs from any document collection. This makes it possible to optimize a RAG pipeline for domain-specific data.

On one of my own RAG pipelines, it more than doubled the F3 score after a few hours of running experiments.

I'd love to hear any feedback or ideas.

Show HN: Hexagonal Game of Life Explorer

Tue, 07/21/2026 - 1:04pm

I've been working on this Game of Life Explorer Webapp for a couple of years now (later with LLM assistance). It's a browser-based simulator for hexagonal cellular automata where you can design, clone, mutate and evolve rulesets. I'm using Rust/WASM, WebGL2 and Web Workers to get the highest possible performance despite running on a Web browser. I put a lot of effort and time into fleshing out the functionality to make it as easy and enjoyable to use as possible. Granted it takes a special kind of curiosity to enjoy playing around with Cellular Automata.

The features I enjoy the most:

- Constraining Rulesets to Rotational Symmetry

- Cloning and Mutating Rulesets

- Coloring Cells based on the Rule that caused their current state

Intentional limitations:

- Hexagonal Grid with a maximum size of 576x666 toroidally wrapped

- binary states

- neighbourhood distance of 1

Everything is 100% open-source, I really appreciate feedback.
