The paper introduces a formalism for comparing achievements under limits of work and information, defining "grasp" as performance across work budgets at a fixed information allowance. It shows how learning and persistence can reduce the work needed for deep achievements, and how agents with limited work budgets value resources that support future goals. The concept extends to recursive self‑improvement, collective agents, and organizational work, highlighting potential risks if emergent agent societies direct work toward their own persistence.
arXiv:2607. 19592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving AI systems typically treat the agent as the object that improves, by optimizing prompts, workflows, harnesses, or even the agent's own code.
SkillGLoW introduces a new way for large language model agents to self‑improve by consolidating procedural skills shared across related tasks. Instead of storing all skills in a single global document or a flat per‑task pool, SkillGLoW aggregates local skills into procedural families, compresses them into de‑instantiated global priors, and regenerates instance‑specific details on demand. Experiments on four diverse benchmarks show that these priors improve performance by an average of 17.2 points over a no‑skill baseline, are more compact than per‑task pools, and enable better transfer to unseen tasks.

arXiv:2608. 10504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As coding agents increasingly handle implementation, the central challenge shifts from building individual agents to building an infrastructure that systematically improves them.
Agensh is a new multi‑agent harness that eliminates a central orchestrator by letting workers self‑organize through a continuous cooperation loop. The system uses a shared workspace, message interface, and shared context to coordinate tasks, verify results, and merge progress asynchronously. Experiments on ProgramBench and pandoc show that scaling from 1 to 1,024 agents improves test‑pass rates by up to 49% relative, demonstrating that agent count is a viable scaling dimension for complex tasks.

arXiv:2607. 05297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent LLM agents tackle increasingly long-horizon, open-ended tasks, and external skills, reusable procedural knowledge supplied to the agent, further extend this capability.

SpeedrunBench is a new benchmark that tests large language model agents on their ability to develop and refine strategies for completing nine different video games as quickly as possible. The benchmark requires agents to repeatedly improve, reflect, and reason over long action horizons to beat both themselves and other players. Experiments show that while agents can approach human records on simple platformers, they lag behind humans on longer, more complex games within realistic resource limits.
