A Self-Improving Agent that Grows its Own DSL: Oracle-Free Operator Induction for Exact Question Answering

The loop: A frozen model runs nested loops to discover missing capabilities and author new domain-specific language operators for itself. It verifies these operators through consensus and conservation laws without external data, expanding its own executable library.

An agent autonomously discovers and writes new exact-computation operators for its own use, verifying them without ground truth to triple its answerable question set.

Learning Lean Feedback for Efficient Proof-Candidate Evaluation on GPUs

The loop: Neural evaluators are trained to predict Lean 4 verdicts and compiler feedback on GPUs. These evaluators are then used as a hybrid reward system to train theorem-proving models, shortening GRPO training steps by 31 percent.

A neural feedback model predicts formal verification outcomes to efficiently reward and train theorem-proving language models.

SakanaAI/AI-Scientist-v3

The loop: An agentic orchestrator manages coding agents to automate scientific discovery and co-discovery. By conducting automated research, the system generates improvements to AI architectures and training methods that feed back into its own underlying models.

The third iteration of Sakana's AI Scientist orchestrates coding agents to automate the scientific discovery process.

MMLA-RSI: Recursive Self-Improvement through RTT and RTMA

The loop: An agent uses its current policy and memory management logic to propose and train its own successor update rules. An independently admitted successor then takes over these roles in the next generation, continuously evolving the architecture's learning mechanisms.

A recursive self-improvement scheme allows an agent to iteratively rewrite its own reasoning-time training rules and memory adaptation algorithms.

Antarsoft/morphness

The loop: A multi-agent harness uses a QA agent to verify builds and a technical lead agent to conduct retrospectives. The lessons learned are converted into persistent rules that improve the system's future planning and execution.

A self-improving multi-agent harness for Claude Code that turns project retrospectives into persistent execution rules.
