scrt-evolve

A self-supervised improvement loop for context retrieval.

01 / The premise

Can a retrieval tool learn from the work it already performs without surrendering local control?

A fine-tuning and evaluation pipeline that extends scrt with self-supervised evolution, using retrieval outcomes as material for improvement.

02 / What took shape

  • Self-supervised training loop
  • Retrieval quality evaluation
  • Paired with the scrt context engine

03 / Looking back

The useful residue.

The project separates adaptation from spectacle. Improvement requires a measurable feedback loop, carefully formed training material, and a stable baseline—not just a model call added to a pipeline.
