# Kevin Gu

## Profile
Creator of **AutoAgent**, a project that successfully applied the edit-run-measure loop to harness engineering, proving the viability of the Meta-Agent / Task Agent split.

## Role in the Source
Cited as the practitioner who validated the [[concept-meta-task-agent-split|Meta/Task split]] in a working system. His AutoAgent project moved the [[concept-karpathy-loop|Karpathy Loop]] pattern from research demo into agent-harness territory.

## Adjacent Work (External)
- **AutoGen Framework (Wu et al., 2023)** — multi-agent harness conversations with meta/task splits; benchmarks show 2x gains from trace-driven harness tuning. Foundational for Kevin Gu's work.
