Coding agents translated five RL environments into fast JAX/Rust for under $10 each — Pokemon Showdown to 22,320x, Pokemon TCG Pocket to 6.6x, HalfCheetah matching MJX, Pong 42x over PufferLib. No hand-written env code. Correctness verified by zero sim-to-sim gap (train in translation, eval in original). Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.12145
