Evaluation of models performing Iterative Self-Optimization within the OPT-BENCH ML environment configured for 20 steps, measured by success rates (Win Count) and error rates (Buggy Rate, EG).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Iterative Self-Optimization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | OPT-BENCH-ML 20 steps 1.0 |
| Metric | Win Count |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 19 of 19 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Win Count](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/iterative-self-optimization-on-opt-bench-ml-20-steps-1-0.md?metric=Win%20Count>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Buggy Rate (w)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/iterative-self-optimization-on-opt-bench-ml-20-steps-1-0.md?metric=Buggy%20Rate%20(w)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Buggy Rate (w/o)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/iterative-self-optimization-on-opt-bench-ml-20-steps-1-0.md?metric=Buggy%20Rate%20(w%2Fo)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [EG (w)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/iterative-self-optimization-on-opt-bench-ml-20-steps-1-0.md?metric=EG%20(w)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [EG (w/o)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/iterative-self-optimization-on-opt-bench-ml-20-steps-1-0.md?metric=EG%20(w%2Fo)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
