"Almost every model finds the same winning ideas. What separates the best traces is what an experiment leaves behind. They preserve weak signals long enough to validate them, but they also have a better understanding of the results."

Curious if a harness that helped preserve signals in some history log would change the outcome.

Also curious if different goal prompts would have changed the outcome. Not a bunch of prompt engineering; small diffs like "consider novel solutions, keep track of weak signals".

IMO they allocated quite a bit of GPU time to the same goal prompt.
