Notes on self-improvement

6 notes

  1. Learning Meta-Skills for Agent Harness Design in Test-Time AI4AI

    Source note · Sep 29, 2026 · agents, self-improvement

    The preprint studies a Builder model that learns to construct better execution environments for a frozen Target model. Its Meta-Skill encodes when support is needed and what resources to provide; the Builder learns…

  2. Recursive self-improvement of AI research agents

    Source note · Sep 22, 2026 · evaluation, agents, research automation

    The preprint presents AIDE^2, a system that proposes code changes to an AI research agent, benchmarks modified versions on AI R&D tasks, and keeps changes that perform best on hidden evaluations. An autonomous…

  3. SoL-Pi: Recursively Scaling Auto-Research Loops for Efficient Agent Harness

    Source note · Sep 17, 2026 · agents, efficiency, self-improvement

    SoL-Pi applies recursive self-improvement at the harness layer across many environments. The abstract describes mechanisms for action execution, context compaction, observation handling, and delegated reading; on a…

  4. STRETCH the Boundaries: A Unified Self-Taught Framework for Progressive LLM Evolution

    Source note · Sep 16, 2026 · evaluation, reasoning, rl

    STRETCH uses a dual-loop setup: a Scaffolder generates adaptive challenges near a model’s capability boundary, while a Learner improves solving trajectories with reinforcement learning. The abstract reports experiments…

  5. ScienceBuddy: Recursive-in-Recursive Self-Improvement for Interactive Scientific Agents

    Source note · Sep 15, 2026 · evaluation, agents, self-improvement

    ScienceBuddy is described as an interactive scientific-research workspace that converts researcher requests, feedback, and execution evidence into tasks and evaluation rubrics for continual learning. Its…

  6. Who Grades the Grader? Co-Evolving Evaluation Metrics and Skills for Self-Improving LLM Agents

    Source note · Jul 14, 2026 · ai, machine learning, self-improvement

    The paper presents a method for creating and improving self-evolving agent systems, which are capable of developing, modifying, and discarding their own skills. The authors claim that in many real-world applications, a…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
