Scientific datasets are commonly organized as hierarchical repositories containing heterogeneous and interdependent files, making their inspection, integration, and analysis labor-intensive and reliant on domain expertise. Although large language model (LLM) agents have advanced substantially in planning, reasoning, and tool use, existing research has largely overlooked their ability to interact with real scientific data assets through executable environments.

The paper introduces ScholarEvolve, a framework that evolves the software harness of language agents by automatically incorporating insights from recent research papers. It organizes harness improvements into functional modules, uses topic modeling to identify distinct strategies, and evaluates combinations to boost task performance. Experiments show significant gains on AppWorld and Tau2-Bench, raising Qwen3.5-27B completion rates from 49.6% to 63.6% and GPT-5.4-mini pass@1 from 72.7% to 81.9%.

Agent0 is a fully autonomous framework that enables large language model agents to evolve without external data by using a multi‑step co‑evolution process. It pits a curriculum agent against an executor agent, both derived from the same base LLM, where the curriculum agent creates increasingly challenging tasks and the executor learns to solve them. By integrating external tools into the executor’s workflow, the system creates a self‑reinforcing cycle that continuously generates high‑quality curricula, leading to significant gains in reasoning performance—an 18% improvement on mathematical reasoning and 24% on general reasoning for the Qwen3‑8B‑Base model.
