omarsar0 · x · 2026-07-17
This post recommends a comprehensive survey on self-improving agentic systems.
Key takeaways include:
- Modern agents can be viewed as "foundation models + operational scaffolds."
- The paper formalizes "self-improvement" as a self-induced update operator, which can be applied to either the model itself or its scaffold.
- The author notes that these systems are transitioning from research demos to real-world deployment, making it a highly recommended read.
