That’s true! It felt a bit flippant to give medical data to an agent. Also, I wanted to see if the model would work in other domains!

but doesn't it break the assumption that it should ideally be able to reproduce your original results

IMO it would be hard to reproduce the results using autoresearch setup.

To get CLIP to work properly we typically need large batch sizes. So the experiments in the original paper were quite heavy, and ran parallel across 8 GPUs.
