🧰 What you need

To run the app on Windows, use:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• A stable internet connection
• Enough free disk space for benchmark files
• A modern browser for opening the GitHub page
• Access to the tools you want to compare

If you plan to run local benchmark jobs, a PC with:

• 8 GB RAM or more
• a recent Intel or AMD processor
• at least 2 GB free space for results and temp files

⚙️ First-time setup

After you open the app, set up these items first:

1. Choose the benchmark run folder.
2. Select the model or tool you want to test.
3. Add your API key or local tool path if the app asks for it.
4. Pick the benchmark preset for Karpathy's Autoresearch tasks.
5. Run a small test before you start a full job.

🖥️ Main features

• Compare AdaL and Claude Code in one place
• Run Autoresearch benchmark tasks
• View run status while tests are in progress
• See output files after each run
• Keep each run separate for easy review
• Save time when switching between tools

📂 What the app does

The app helps you work with benchmark runs without opening many tools. It gives you a clear view of each run, the tool used, and the result.

You can use it to:

• start a new benchmark run
• load a past run
• check progress
• review logs
• compare final output

🧭 How to use it

1. Open the app

Double-click the app file in Windows.

2. Pick your benchmark

Choose the Autoresearch benchmark profile you want to run.

3. Select the tool

Choose AdaL or Claude Code.

4. Start the run

Click the run button in the app.

5. Review the result

When the run ends, open the results panel and check:

• score
• logs
• output files
• run time

📊 Best way to compare results

If you want a fair test:

• use the same benchmark set each time
• keep the same machine for both runs
• use the same network setup
• do not change files between runs
• save each result with a clear name

A good naming format is:

• adal-test-01
• claude-test-01
• adal-vs-claude-round2

🧾 Folder layout

The app may create folders like:

• runs for test runs
• logs for event logs
• results for output files
• cache for temp data

Keep these folders in the same place unless the app asks you to move them.

🔍 Common tasks

Run a new benchmark

Open the app, choose your tool, and start a fresh run.

Check past results

Open the results folder and load the saved files.

Compare two runs

Look at the score, logs, and output side by side.

Clean up old files

Delete old runs only after you save the results you want to keep.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

The app does not open

• Check that the file finished downloading
• Extract the ZIP file first if needed
• Try opening the app again
• Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator

Windows shows a security prompt

• Choose More info
• Then choose Run anyway if you trust the file source
• Use the GitHub link above to get the file again if needed

The run stops early

• Check your internet connection
• Make sure your API key is still valid
• Confirm the tool path is correct
• Restart the app and run again

Results do not appear

• Wait a few minutes if the job is still running
• Open the logs folder
• Look for error messages
• Run a smaller test first

🔐 Using your API key

If the app asks for an API key:

• paste it into the field in the app
• keep it private
• do not share it in screenshots or logs
• store it in a safe place

If you use a local setup:

• make sure the tool path points to the right file
• check that the tool opens from Windows before you start the benchmark

📝 File types you may see

You may see files such as:

• .json for run data
• .log for logs
• .txt for notes
• .csv for score tables
• .zip for downloads

👀 What to expect during a run

During a benchmark run, the app may show:

• a progress bar
• a task list
• a status label
• a timer
• a result file path

This helps you track the run without guessing what is happening.

🧩 Tips for smooth use

• Close extra apps before you start a long run
• Keep the laptop plugged in
• Use a steady network connection
• Save results after each run
• Check the output folder before starting another test
