Tip: Feed Self-Improvement Papers to Models to Enhance Iterative Loops
generativist · x · 2026-08-06
Developer headinthebox shared a practical prompting tip: if an AI model features a self-improvement loop, you can show it an early academic paper discussing this mechanism and ask the model to incorporate the paper's concepts into its workflow. The author of the referenced paper appreciated the shoutout, while also noting that an error in one of the original proofs was fixed in a later note with updated formalism.
