EvoTrainer co-evolves LLM policies and training harnesses via empirical feedback to match or exceed human-engineered RL on math reasoning, code generation, and long-horizon software engineering.
PACE coordinates low-risk prompt evolution with validated higher-risk control-logic updates to improve frozen SLM agents on benchmarks without model retraining.
EvoVid proposes a temporal-centric self-evolution framework for Video-LLMs that uses temporal-aware Questioner and temporal-grounded Solver rewards to improve performance directly from unannotated videos.
Mem-π is a framework using a dedicated model and decision-content decoupled RL to generate context-specific guidance on demand for LLM agents, outperforming retrieval baselines by over 30% on web navigation.
Solvita is an agentic evolution system using Planner, Solver, Oracle, and Hacker agents with trainable graph knowledge networks updated by reinforcement learning on pass/fail and vulnerability signals to achieve SOTA code generation performance.
Video-Zero is an annotation-free Questioner-Solver co-evolution framework that centers self-evolution on temporally localized evidence to improve video VLMs.
G-Zero uses the Hint-δ intrinsic reward to drive co-evolution between a Proposer and Generator via GRPO and DPO, providing a theoretical suboptimality guarantee for self-improvement from internal dynamics alone.
DarwinTOD proposes a dual-loop LLM-driven framework with an Evolvable Strategy Bank that enables lifelong autonomous improvement in task-oriented dialog systems through online multi-agent critique and offline evolutionary refinement.
Survey that defines agentic RL for LLMs via POMDPs, introduces a taxonomy of planning/tool-use/memory/reasoning capabilities and domains, and compiles open environments from over 500 papers.
Self-evolving LLM agents introduce persistent, amplifying security threats that static defenses cannot address, as shown by analysis of 25 attack surface cells and case studies.
Trace2Policy's EISR iteratively refines expert-derived rules into compiled Python code reaching 79.6% accuracy on skewed compliance tasks, outperforming one-shot LLM distillation and a deployed LLM baseline.
Existing methods for turning LLM interaction experience into parametric skills collapse over multiple iterations; principle-level experience, step-wise injection, and off-policy teacher distillation yield more stable continual learning.
D²Evo mines medium-difficulty anchors from the current model, trains a Questioner to generate matching questions, and jointly optimizes Solver and Questioner for progressive gains, outperforming baselines on math reasoning with under 2K real samples.
Bian Que is an agentic framework using a unified operational paradigm, flexible Skill Arrangement, and self-evolving mechanism to automate O&M tasks, achieving 75% alert reduction and over 50% MTTR cut in production deployment.
ACE introduces a solver-adversary loop where an LLM generates both candidate programs and adversarial tests, using execution outcomes for preference optimization to achieve 3-7% pass@1 gains on code benchmarks without ground-truth code.
SOLAR introduces a self-optimizing agent using meta-learning on model weights and RL-driven strategy discovery for lifelong adaptation in LLMs, claiming superior performance on reasoning tasks across domains.
Question generation produces a hidden-state signal that predicts final correctness before the answer is produced, yet gating interventions based on that signal do not reliably improve trajectories.
A survey consolidating frameworks, data practices, large action models, benchmarks, applications, and research gaps in LLM-brained GUI agents.
The paper reviews conceptual foundations, methodological innovations, effective designs, critical challenges, and future directions for LLM-based Agentic Reinforcement Learning.
