Generalized Agent Iteration: one formal framework for policy improvement and recursive self-improvement
Hongyao Tang · hf · 2026-09-17
A new paper on Hugging Face proposes Generalized Agent Iteration, a unified formal framework covering both iterative policy improvement and recursive self-improvement. It defines key axes distinguishing external versus internal improvement and the corresponding evaluation standards, giving researchers shared terminology for how agents advance through tool/environment improvements versus internal self-upgrading.
