Internalizing Agent Experience into Diffusion Model Weights via On-Policy Context Distillation

The paper introduces Diffusion On-Policy Context Distillation (D-OPCD), a method that internalizes the benefits of an agentic harness—such as memory, skills, and iterative prompt refinement—into the weights of a diffusion model. By treating the agent‑improved prompt as privileged context, D-OPCD distills harness knowledge into the model, raising direct‑generation scores from 60.52 to 65.09 across four benchmarks. This internalization allows the harness to shed saturated skills and continue evolving, enabling a second round of skill evolution that further improves performance by 1.83 points.

Latent On-Policy Self-Distillation

Enabling agents to learn from experience and internalize it into their policy has become a central problem in self-evolving AI. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers an effective pathway by using a privileged self-teacher to provide dense supervision on the student's own trajectories; however, existing methods still rely heavily on designer-specified privileged artifacts (e.

Rep2Skill: Representation-Guided Skill Self-Evolution for LLM Agents

Rep2Skill introduces a representation-guided framework that enables large language model agents to self-evolve their textual skills by analyzing internal representation trajectories from agent rollouts. The method identifies execution turns that deviate from successful dynamics and uses these signals, together with execution contexts, as actionable feedback for targeted skill revision. Experiments with two open-source LLMs across two agent environments demonstrate that Rep2Skill consistently outperforms purely text-based approaches, showing that incorporating internal representations can enhance agent self-improvement.
