Mendel Gödel Machine: Recursive Self-Improving Agents via Comparative Evolution
burny_tech · x · 2026-08-14
The paper introduces Mendel Gödel Machine (MGM), a method for recursive self-improving coding agents via comparative evolution.
- Problem: Self-improving agents typically edit based on a single failure.
- Method: MGM introduces reaction-norm mutation and cross-lineage hybridization to leverage comparative signals.
- Results: This approach yields a +10% improvement on SWE-bench and +42% on Polyglot.
