Hacker News / Stanford·low signal
Stanford's CS329A course on self-improving AI agents surfaced on Hacker News on August 4, 2026 as a free public YouTube playlist, with the Part 1 lecture posted separately. The subject — agents that evaluate and revise their own behavior across runs — is exactly the layer most production agent stacks currently hand-roll without a shared vocabulary. Free university coursework on this narrow topic is rare enough to be worth bookmarking even if you never watch it end to end.
