GDPevo: Evaluating Agent Self-Evolution on Real Business Tasks

arXiv:2608. 03764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent self-evolution updates an agent's persistent state from prior experience and reuses it to solve related tasks more effectively.

EvoAgentBench: Benchmarking Agent Self-Evolution via Ability Transfer

arXiv:2607. 05202v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent self-evolution in long-horizon LLM systems is largely procedural: useful experience is not merely stored information, but reusable procedures for searching, debugging, and verification.

TTHE: Test-Time Harness Evolution

arXiv:2607. 08124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The behavior of an LLM agent is determined not only by the underlying model, but also by its harness: the executable program that constructs context, invokes tools, verifies intermediate results, and recovers from failures.

FinEvo-Bench: A Longitudinal Benchmark for Self-Evolving Agents in Professional Financial Workflows

arXiv:2608. 06144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most agent benchmarks evaluate tasks independently and cannot measure whether experience from one task helps with later tasks.

Cost-Effective Agent Harnesses for Abstract Reasoning and Generalization on ARC-AGI-1

arXiv:2607. 06764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress on ARC-AGI-1 from disclosed architectures has come broadly from two regimes: heavy test-time compute over frontier models (evolutionary search, exhaustive sampling, extended chain-of-thought), or benchmark-specific training in which small models are fine-tuned on ARC data, often with task-specialized architectures.
