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.
The paper introduces Successive Scale Racing (SSR), a framework that improves agentic harness evolution by adaptively selecting optimal evidence combinations during each evolution round. SSR constructs diverse evidence sets based on task quality and coverage, then efficiently races candidate harnesses under a limited compute budget. Across three benchmarks, SSR outperforms baselines, steadily raising pass rates as the task pool expands from 40 to 200 while cutting validation executions by 60%.
