AReaL-RSI: Adaptive Scaling and Coordination of Recursive Self-Improvement

Key points

• Scaling recursive self-improvement requires additional computation to produce useful research progress in reaching persistent objectives.1
• We formulate the scaling problem in terms of evaluated outcomes and whole-system resource expenditure.1
• Concretely, a leader agent selects task-appropriate research orientations and guides ongoing investigations; conditional memory sharing distinguishes unresolved problems from supported findings and enables recipient adaptation.1
• Experiments compare AReaL-RSI with Codex-Goal on downstream harness optimization, GPU kernel optimization, and AI research tasks using two backbones.1

  In this paper, we present AReaL-RSI, a framework for organizing a persistent research team of agents without updating backbone LLM weights.
