arXiv: Self-Directed Repair turns agent mistakes into lasting lessons
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-30
The arXiv paper (2610.31846) behind Self-Direction, by Princeton and Meta FAIR authors. It confirms the mechanism: reflecting on failures, distilling lessons into lightweight LoRA adapters with frozen base weights, and routing them from a persistent library — improving success rates by 8.9–17.0 points across GAIA, Claw-Eval, and Terminal-Bench 2.1, with adapters generalizing across tasks.
