AIBuildAI-2.5 ranks first on MLE-Bench with 73.3% medal rate

AIBuildAI-2.5 is an autonomous agentic system designed to build AI models by treating model construction as a tree‑search problem. The authors identify three efficiency gaps in prior agents—limited candidate execution, lack of resource‑aware scheduling, and reliance on a single powerful LLM for all tasks—and propose solutions.

Key points

  • AIBuildAI-2.5 introduces LLM‑guided tree search that scores candidates on expected improvement, grounding, and feasibility
  • The system adds a resource‑aware scheduler and a router that delegates low‑cost LLMs to simple tasks
  • It achieved a 73.3% medal rate, ranking first on MLE‑Bench and beating a strong baseline on six AIRS‑Bench tasks

The new system adds an LLM‑guided tree search where a judge scores each candidate on expected improvement, grounding, and feasibility, and a selector ranks the pool using those scores and the current search state. A scheduler launches training jobs based on real‑time hardware availability, while a router assigns cheaper LLMs to low‑complexity steps, reserving the strongest model for the hardest sub‑tasks. In benchmark evaluation, AIBuildAI-2.5 achieved a 73.3% medal rate, placing first on MLE‑Bench, and outperformed a strong baseline across six autonomous AI research tasks from AIRS‑Bench.
