RSIGym: A Flexible Environment for Recursive Self-Improvement
RSIGym is a new agent-native research environment built on Everything as a Service (EaaS) that exposes training, inference, rollout, evaluation, and sandbox execution through reusable services. It supports shared budget and permission controls for Data, Harness, and Joint improvement tracks, allowing agents to investigate individual interventions and jointly optimize data, training settings, and execution harnesses within the same environment. Using RSIGym, the Opus 5 model achieved the highest RSI-Index of 0.4809 across five benchmarks, improving performance on software engineering, terminal interaction, mathematics, scientific reasoning, and skill-based tasks.

RSI-Opt: Recursive Self-Improvement Optimizer Agents For Model Training
RSI-Opt introduces Recursive Self-Improvement Optimizer Agents that evolve their own training policies by accumulating knowledge from previous runs, including prompts, playbooks, optimizer code, and decision cadences. A meta‑agent rewrites and archives these policies, enabling reusable procedures and code that adapt to new tasks. Across multiple generations and tasks, RSI‑Opt improves optimizer performance, achieving higher z‑scores on evolution suites, better cross‑model transfer, and significant error reductions on PDE benchmarks compared to fixed‑prompt baselines.

HarnessOpt-Bench: Evaluating LLMs at Harness Optimization
arXiv:2608. 06301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly deployed within agentic systems, their capabilities depend not only on the model weights but also on the harness: the prompts, tools, control flow, memory, and orchestration code surrounding them.

Agent Lightning v1.0: Towards Harnessed Agentic RL
Agent Lightning v1.0 is a lightweight framework that enables harnessed agentic reinforcement learning, where the agent harness—managing tools, context, and control flow—directly participates in model post‑training. It supports arbitrary agent harnesses and addresses challenges such as retokenization, sample merging, and advantage calculation, providing a reproducible pipeline for instruction‑following, search, and coding agents. In experiments, RL training on 6K examples improved Qwen3.5‑9B’s performance on SWE‑bench from 41.8% to 56.4%.

RRSI: Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Harnesses
The paper introduces Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Harnesses (RRSI), a method that applies regularization principles to the iterative editing of an LLM agent’s harness—prompts, control flow, tooling, memory, and context management. RRSI limits the number of edits per candidate, encourages novel trajectories, and uses a critic and pruner to filter out benchmark‑specific or ineffective changes, thereby favoring reusable agent mechanisms. Experiments on eight benchmarks show RRSI improves performance by up to 14.1 points on the training split and 4.7 points on out‑of‑distribution tests, while reducing policy token usage by 30% compared to unregularized evolution.
