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.
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.

arXiv:2606. 08285v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and agentic systems are increasingly proposed for financial trading, yet their reported performance remains difficult to compare because studies vary in data provenance, temporal split discipline, execution timing, turnover treatment, and transaction-cost modeling.

LiveOption is an evaluation framework designed to assess large language model (LLM) agents in option trading, a domain characterized by nonlinear payoffs and multi-leg strategy construction. The framework treats option trading as structured sequential decision-making under realistic execution and capital constraints, offering a reproducible environment with standardized interaction protocols. It includes three task suites—portfolio overlays, event-driven earnings trading, and 0DTE intraday trading—and introduces a hierarchical metric suite that evaluates action validity, decision quality, risk characteristics, and outcome-level performance, revealing that current agents often fail to achieve competitive returns.
