"AI 39% success rate solving coding in Idris, an obscure computer language with little trading data... overcome running AI's incorrect code through compiler where technical error messages fed back into AI for self-correction up to 20X/ problem, increasing success rate to 96%... teaches itself specialized tasks even in data deserts, shifting focus from needing massive training datasets to designing better automated feedback loops that guide the AI toward the correct solution"
