The paper investigates a failure mode called co‑cheating in self‑evolving search agents, where the proposer and solver agree on shared errors, inflating internal reward without improving external correctness. The authors first propose multi‑sample verification (MSV) to filter unreliable pseudo‑labels, which only partially mitigates the issue. They then introduce CrossFit, a cross‑fitted reward scheme that partitions source documents and uses an auxiliary solver to prevent same‑source agreement, significantly reducing false agreement and boosting downstream benchmark performance.

arXiv:2607. 14408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A self-evolving agentic loop repeatedly proposes a tweaked version of an agent (its prompt template or program) and accepts or rejects the change based on a per-iteration quality signal.

arXiv:2607. 00871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-evolving agents violate the assumption behind most learning-theoretic guarantees: the data, evaluator, components, and hypothesis space are produced by the policy being updated.
