ASCENT Enables Online Test-Time Training for Long-Horizon Agents
October 3, 2026
ASCENT implements Online Agentic Test-Time Training (OaTTT), allowing LLM agents to update their weights during deployment using verified execution trajectories. Unlike static in-context learning, this method enables persistent weight updates from successful or failed task completions in a live stream.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can build agents that continuously improve their performance on specialized tasks without manual fine-tuning cycles.
