EvoGen-Harness: Learning Where and How to Evolve Image-Generation Harnesses

EvoGen-Harness is a generator‑agnostic framework that enables multi‑responsibility evolution of image‑generation harnesses, allowing multiple external components to adapt around frozen generators. It introduces Trace, a method that aggregates evidence across stochastic runs, uses failure attribution as a search prior, and progressively re‑attributes residual failures to guide efficient evolution. The approach achieves significant performance gains on GenEval2, T2I‑CompBench++, and WISE, with high attribution recall, No‑Patch accuracy, and low regression rates.

HarnessEvolve: Learning from Reference Trajectories for Reliable Agent Self-Evolution

HarnessEvolve is a self‑evolving framework that improves agent harnesses—prompts, skills, tools, and execution logic—by learning from reference trajectories. It separates execution, evaluation, optimization, and gating into independent modules, addressing credit assignment failure, shortcut learning, and catastrophic forgetting. The approach uses reference trajectories to extract error signals, applies quality and performance gates to candidate updates, and validates updates on held‑out data, consistently outperforming state‑of‑the‑art baselines across diverse benchmarks.
