Research direction
The issue requests automating the parameter tuning currently done manually in predict many * jobs. The contributor should explore the repository to understand the existing predict many * functions and their parameters. Based on that, propose a method to automate strategy selection, possibly using optimization or search algorithms. The issue lacks detailed requirements, so initial investigation into the codebase and possibly prior discussions in the issue comments is needed to clarify the scope.
