Evaluating agents by outcomes alone can obscure the capabilities that produce them. This problem is especially pronounced in evolving environments, where outcomes reflect a closed-loop interaction bet...
Self-evolving agents convert interaction feedback into persistent artifacts, such as memories or skills, which in turn guide subsequent decisions. As these artifacts are iteratively updated throughout...

arXiv:2606. 17546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving LLM-based agents improve mainly by changing their agent harness: the structured execution layer around a base model, including prompts, memory, tools, middleware, runtime state, and the model-tool interaction loop.

EvoTS-Agent is a self‑evolving large language model agent designed for autonomous change‑point detection in financial time series. It begins with curated exploratory data analysis to set up candidate models, then iteratively refines detection pipelines using three operators—Revision, Alternative Strategy, and Recombination—guided by validation feedback. Across four benchmark datasets, EvoTS-Agent consistently outperforms existing LLM‑based agents and achieves a 100% execution success rate with all tested backbone LLMs.

The paper introduces a framework that links the foundational capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to their agentic performance by measuring operation-level gaps. It constructs foundational profiles from benchmark data and operation profiles from real interaction trajectories, then quantifies how much observed operation performance deviates from predictions based on foundational capabilities. Experiments on fifteen model services in the τ²-Bench demonstrate that foundational profiles alone only partially predict agentic outcomes, while incorporating operation profiles significantly improves task-score predictions and reveals consistent execution gaps across task subsets.
