arXiv:2606. 09663v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recursive self-design refers to AI-assisted modification of the mechanisms by which an AI system is built, evaluated, and improved.
By Dun Li, Jiatao Li, Hongzhi Li
arXiv:2608. 10157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving agents seek to reduce the human engineering effort behind AI systems by enabling them to evolve and self-improve their performance over time.

arXiv:2607. 08393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning LLMs to inject new knowledge faces a critical challenge: LLMs can quickly memorize new facts, yet fail to use them for downstream reasoning tasks.
By Lu Dai, Ziyang Rao, Yili Wang, Hanqing Wang, Hao Liu, Hui Xiong
arXiv:2606. 28374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly improved without weight updates by evolving a natural-language artifact, such as reflections, workflows, playbooks, cheatsheets, or optimized prompts, that conditions a frozen policy.

arXiv:2607. 17558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers a promising approach for training large language models without relying on a separate teacher model.
By Fan Yang, Rui Meng, Yuxin Wen
arXiv:2606. 28438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recursive self-training can degrade neural generative models when generated data is reused without fresh human data or external quality control.
By Xinyuan Song, Zekun Cai, Liang Zhao
arXiv:2510. 04399v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop a learning-theoretic framework for analyzing self-improving agents by decomposing self-modification into five axes.

arXiv:2608. 07525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hallucination remains a persistent challenge for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), severely limiting their reliability in high-stakes applications.

arXiv:2604. 24222v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance on general code generation, but their effectiveness drops sharply in enterprise settings where software development relies on internal private libraries absent from public pre-training corpora.
By Mofei Li, Taozhi Chen, Guowei Yang, Jia Li
arXiv:2607. 11696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-refinement often fails to strengthen few-shot inductive reasoning in large language models.
By Huan Zhu
arXiv:2507. 02778v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have transformed AI, they still make errors and follow unproductive reasoning paths.
By Ken Tsui
arXiv:2607. 18100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extended reasoning has become standard for frontier Large Language Models (LLMs), yet the trajectories these models produce remain largely uncontrollable.
