LegoEnv: Self-Evolving Agentic Environments via Modular Recombination

LegoEnv introduces a new paradigm for creating agentic environments by recombining reusable atoms—intent, rule, data, and server—rather than building each environment from scratch. The system automatically evolves these atoms when an environment fails to provide reliable feedback, leading to a significant increase in solvable environments from 71.6% to 88.3% after one evolution round. Experiments on AutomationBench show that training on LegoEnv environments doubles the performance of large language models, with SFT boosting Qwen3.6-27B from 16.0% to 32.0% and RL improving Qwen3.8-27B from 37.6% to 40.3%. whyItMatters":"LegoEnv’s modular, self‑evolving approach enables scalable, generalizable environment construction that directly enhances the training and performance of LLM agents on diverse tasks."

EnvHarness: Awakening Static Worlds for Agent Learning

LLM agents learn by interacting with environments, yet these environments are hand-built and static: blind to an agent's weaknesses, and quickly left behind as it improves. While recent environment generation methods attempt to address this, they require domain-specific pipelines, rely on expensive or unreliable verifiers, and still produce static environments.

Agent-Environment Alignment via Automated Interface Generation

The paper introduces ALIGN, a lightweight framework that automatically generates enriched interfaces to reduce agent‑environment misalignment in large language model agents. By augmenting static environment information and step‑wise observations, ALIGN improves performance across diverse tasks such as embodied navigation, web browsing, and tool use, achieving up to a 45.67% success rate increase in ALFWorld. The method works without altering agent logic or environment code and generalizes across different agent architectures and LLM backbones.

EvoUndo: Recoverability-Constrained Self-Evolution for LLM Agent Harnesses

EvoUndo is a framework that enables large language model agents to self‑evolve—modifying prompts, tools, and execution harnesses—while ensuring that these changes can be reliably reversed across different states. The study evaluates EvoUndo on 600 unseen one‑shot self‑evolution tasks, finding that 197 capability‑improving mutations fail recoverability checks. By extending the recovery language and adding exact state‑address diagnostics, the framework recovers up to 191 out of 197 failures, demonstrating that robust self‑evolution requires co‑designing verification, grounding, witness semantics, and recovery expressivity.

Darwin-Claw: Environment-Adaptive Experience Consolidation for Recursively Self-Evolving Agents

Darwin‑Claw is a new framework for large language model agents that enables environment‑adaptive, self‑evolving behavior. It systematically distills episodic experiences into prototype vectors through a hierarchical experience consolidation system, providing context‑sensitive perception patches and explicit optimization signals for skill refinement. The method is deployable with mainstream agent systems and, according to experiments on WildClawBench, delivers significant performance gains while maintaining controllability and stability.

Terminal-Universe: Turning Agent Trajectories into Scalable Terminal Environments

Terminal-Universe is a framework that transforms large collections of terminal‑based agent trajectories into reusable, executable environments. By replaying recorded file operations and completing missing files, it reconstructs the original workspace and task, then synthesizes new tasks and multi‑round interactions. The resulting 37.3k task‑sufficient environments enable significant performance gains when fine‑tuning language models on terminal‑based benchmarks.

SPADE: Self-Play in Adaptive Synthetic Executable Environments

SPADE (Self-Play in Adaptive Synthetic Executable Environments) is a reinforcement‑learning framework where a single large language model acts as both an Environment Designer—creating executable, long‑horizon training environments—and a Reasoning Agent—learning to act within those environments. The framework uses a regret signal based on the difference between rewarded performance with and without privileged hints to guide the Designer toward environments that are challenging yet solvable. Experiments show that, when scaled to 30‑billion‑parameter models, SPADE outperforms fixed‑environment baselines by significant margins across math, science, code, and reasoning benchmarks, and improves tool‑use performance on BFCL‑v4 and ACEBench‑Agent. whyItMatters":"By making environment design a learnable component, SPADE enables continuous self‑improvement and demonstrates that adaptive, self‑generated training environments can substantially boost language‑model performance across diverse tasks."
