Recursive Experiential-Working Memory Evolution for Long-Horizon Agent Harnesses

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Recuris, a recursive Experiential‑Working Memory architecture that lets long‑horizon agents track task progress and select skills based on current needs rather than full history. By coupling working memory with experiential memory, execution becomes structured evidence that localizes failures to specific memory components, enabling a bounded recursive memory‑evolution loop. Across four benchmarks and ten models, Recuris improves task success in 35 of 37 model‑benchmark pairs, raising state‑of‑the‑art performance on tau‑bench and SkillFlow and reducing common long‑horizon failures by up to 80%.

CHIME: Credit-Aware Hierarchical Memory Evolution for Long-Horizon Agentic Planning

CHIME introduces a credit‑aware hierarchical memory evolution framework that separates planning and execution experiences into distinct memory banks. By attributing each task outcome to the plan, execution, both, or neither before memorization, CHIME mitigates bias from noisy final outcomes and improves long‑horizon agent planning. Experiments on four benchmarks demonstrate that CHIME outperforms existing training‑based and self‑evolving memory methods, requires fewer memory items, and transfers effectively across backbone models.

Self-Play Meets Skill Evolution: Self-Evolving Search Agents that Pose, Solve, and Remember

arXiv:2607. 29468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-play agents can generate training problems without questions from target benchmarks, but their curricula lack persistent state: failures affect gradients yet do not explicitly shape future practice.

Self-Evolving Harness on Multiple Tasks with the Agent as Its Own Optimizer

The paper introduces a self‑evolving harness framework where a frozen language‑model agent first solves tasks and then edits its own harness based on run records. Using a 49‑line seed harness, the evolved harness improves average scores on in‑distribution benchmarks by 4.48 points and on out‑of‑distribution benchmarks by 12.64 points, surpassing Codex on the former and matching it on the latter. Continued evolution on a specific out‑of‑distribution benchmark further raises performance, and the study analyzes emergent mechanisms such as output truncation and history compaction.
