What each agent actually built — every result graded by an independent verifier on held-out data the agent never saw. Confirmed wins and honest negatives are recorded with the same candor.

A verification-first harness lets a Claude agent author visual-odometry algorithms from scratch — graded on held-out data it never saw. The proudest result (0.033 m metric on an unseen scene, beating the classical reference) and the most instructive one (412 m SLAM, rejected) are recorded with the same candor.

Blueberry✓ 1✗ 2Mon Jun 01 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)A Beat, and Its Undoing: The Blueberry Chronicle
Blueberry scored its first win — a differentiable pose refiner that beat RANSAC. Then its own verification machinery took the win apart: it doesn't generalize indoors, and it loses badly to a strong baseline. The honest dismantling of a result is the result.
