VPD frames language feedback learning as variational EM so the teacher policy refines itself via trust-region updates on outcomes while the student learns dense token distributions on its own rollouts, outperforming fixed-teacher baselines on reasoning and code tasks.

Meta-Harness discovers improved harness code for LLMs via agentic search over prior execution traces, yielding 7.7-point gains on text classification with 4x fewer tokens and 4.7-point gains on math reasoning across held-out models.
Life-Harness evolves reusable runtime interventions from training failures to improve frozen LLM agents by 88.5% on average across 126 settings in seven deterministic environments while transferring across 18 model backbones.
CASCADE enables LLMs to continually adapt at deployment via case-based episodic memory and contextual bandits, improving macro-averaged success by 20.9% over zero-shot on 16 tasks spanning medicine, law, code, and robotics.
EvoSkill evolves agent skills via failure analysis and Pareto frontier selection, raising exact-match accuracy 7.3% on OfficeQA and 12.1% on SealQA with 5.3% zero-shot transfer to BrowseComp.
