FreeEvolve: Learning to Evolve Beyond Fixed Loops

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

FREEEVOLVE automates the optimization loop used by agent evolvers, allowing the system to decide what to test, how much evidence to gather, which candidates to pursue, and when to stop, all within specified resource limits. By treating these decisions as an editable evolution skill and improving them through meta‑evolution, the method learns a capability that replaces hand‑crafted search loops. Experiments on several benchmarks show that FREEEVOLVE improves primary metrics by an average of 13.6 points and that meta‑evolved skills add further gains, indicating transferability across environments.
