VISA (Visual Instruction Synthesis Agent) is an agentic framework that transforms multimodal instruction synthesis into a self‑evolving loop. Each cycle analyzes images to filter constraints, samples new constraint sets, generates candidate instructions, and verifies them using executable tools and large language model judges. Failed samples trigger diagnostic recovery, while accepted samples are evaluated against the target model to estimate difficulty, with all feedback written back to memory to adapt future rounds and provide reward signals for reinforcement learning.

Large language model (LLM) agents require post-training methods that can improve long-horizon decision making from environment feedback. However, existing agentic post-training pipelines often treat data curation as a fixed preprocessing step, focusing mainly on data augmentation while neglecting filtering, refinement, and adaptation to downstream failures.
arXiv:2608. 08570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rejection sampling fine-tuning (RFT) is widely used to train code agents by generating trajectories on verifiable software engineering tasks, retaining those that pass the tests, and fine-tuning on the successful rollouts.

Experience-driven self-evolution is critical for large language model (LLM) agents to improve through open-world interaction. However, existing experience learning methods mostly rely on single-agent loops, where the same agent executes tasks, summarizes outcomes, and determines memory content.

AI agents rely on a harness of skills, tools, and workflows to solve complex problems. Continually improving this harness is essential for adapting to new tasks.
arXiv:2605. 30407v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on general tasks, while often struggling to adapt to specialized domains without high-quality domain-specific data.

Combee is a new framework that scales prompt learning for self‑improving language model agents by enabling many agents to run in parallel while learning from their combined traces. It uses parallel scans, an augmented shuffle mechanism, and a dynamic batch size controller to maintain quality and reduce delay. Experiments on AppWorld, Terminal‑Bench, Formula, and FiNER show up to 17× speedup over prior methods with comparable or better accuracy at similar cost.
