Self-evolving loops may just be disguised test-time scaling
ParshinShojaee · x · 2026-08-17
This post discusses a paper rethinking self-evolving loops. Most loops run search directly on the test set for accurate feedback, but this quietly turns them into a form of test-time scaling. The paper argues that gains should be measured against test-time scaling under matched feedback and inference budgets to distinguish between discovering a better harness or just spending more compute.
