Framework for Analyzing Self-Improving Autonomous Agent Systems
July 13, 2026
This survey categorizes self-improving agents as adaptive systems that update model parameters or operational scaffolds like memory and tools. It formalizes self-improvement as a self-induced update operator driven by experience-based signals.
