EVOHARNESSBENCH: Can Your Agents Keep Pace with an Evolving Harness?

EVOHARNESSBENCH is a new benchmark that tests how LLM-based agents handle changes in their tool, skill, and agent harnesses over time. It includes 17 deterministic harness streams with 802 tasks, 520 tools, 42 skills, and 62 agents, and evaluates agents in two settings: deployment evaluation and self‑evolving adaptation evaluation. The study finds that harness expansion can cause forgetting, adaptation gains are inconsistent, and preserving old competence does not always aid new capability adaptation, highlighting harness evolution as a distinct challenge for agent development.

AgentEvolver: System-Wide Self-Evolution Through Task Execution

AgentEvolver is a system that enables agents to develop reusable capabilities while executing tasks, without altering the underlying foundation model. It uses eight entity families to expose operations, methods, agents, control flow, interfaces, and state for revision, coordinated by a shared Runtime and persistent planning. In evaluations on SWE-bench Pro Public, it achieved an 82.08% resolution rate, demonstrating retained capabilities across subsequent website, game, and research tasks, though some objectives remained incomplete.
