ProgramGym: Scaling Training Environments for Long-Horizon Program Reproduction Agents

Coding agents are increasingly used to build programs from scratch as software engineers do rather than to resolve issues within a repository or to generate a repository from a given requirements document. However, scalable verifiable training environments that force agents to discover what is required and to decide ho...

RRSI: Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Harnesses

Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Harnesses (RRSI) is introduced, which incorporates the principles of regularizations into harness self-improvement by constraining the evolution candidate proposal and selection.

Questioning the Questions: Sustaining Self-Evolution in Reasoning Models

Self-evolving reasoning models learn from their own generated questions, yet repeated self-training can lead to performance collapse. In this paper, we investigate why performance deteriorates over successive rounds and how to sustain self-evolution. Our analysis identifies two recurring quality problems in self-genera...

Scaling Trajectories for Complex Tasks through Recursive Self-Rewrite

Successful trajectories on difficult tasks provide valuable supervision for model improvement, but specialized harnesses introduce interventions that may be unavailable during deployment. We propose Recursive Self-Rewrite (RSR), a framework that uses one base model, Qwen-3.8-27B, to discover successful solutions under...

RRSI: Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Harnesses

An LLM agent's capability is largely magnified by its harness, namely the prompts, control flow, tooling, memory, and context management surrounding the frozen backbone model. Recent methods increasingly automate this process by iteratively proposing and selecting component-wise edits of an agent harness, practically e...

VisPlay : Self-Evolving Vision-Language Models

VisPlay is introduced, a self-evolving RL framework that enables VLMs to autonomously improve their reasoning capabilities from massive unlabeled image data and establishes a scalable path toward self-evolving multimodal intelligence.

EnvHarness: Awakening Static Worlds for Agent Learning

Environment Harness is proposed, a programmable layer of plug-in components that wraps a static environment to reshape its behavior without modifying the underlying logic, enabling continuous, targeted co-evolution of the policy and its environment.
