OPAL: a reactive optimizer. A coding agent rewrites the optimizer while your model trains.

About the project

A PyTorch optimizer wrapper that lets a coding agent rewrite the optimizer program during training. It is for ML engineers who want the update rule, learning rates, and schedules to adapt automatically while a model trains.

Useful for
  • Wrap an existing PyTorch training loop to let an agent adjust learning rates and momentum during a run.
  • Run a dry-run with backend="keep" to verify the wrapped optimizer matches the plain run step for step.
  • Estimate agent waiting time and cost before launching a real run with a cost cap.

4.4 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 22, 2026, 10:55 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100October 21, 2026October 22, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 09:11–10:42: 117 → 124 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +39 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 124 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #188.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
