About this episode
We unpack Sydney Runkle’s loop engineering framework—a masterclass in turning a basic AI agent into a robust, autonomous system. From verification-driven loops (automated graders) and event-driven execution to a hill-climbing autonomous QA loop that rewrites its own prompts after each failure, this episode explains how to design feedback-rich environments where humans stay in the strategic driver’s seat while agents handle execution and self-improvement.
