How ERNIE Evolve works: nested loops with an independent reviewer gate research quality

BaiduResearch · x · 2026-11-10

Baidu Research explained ERNIE Evolve's architecture: an outer loop explores multiple research directions in parallel using past experiment results, while an inner loop runs each candidate through code changes, experiments and evaluation, with an independent reviewer verifying that improvements are real, correct and aligned with the original objective. The diagram shows Director/Selector/Executor/Evaluator/Reviewer agent roles plus a cross-run experience bank.
