https://arxiv.org/html/2609.26457v1 > AIDE demonstrates that recursive self-improvement at the harness layer can produce transferable gains in an AI research agent’s research efficiency. During the recursive self-improvement run, the loop accepted seven rewrites, each under a fixed evaluation budget (section 3.2). Under this fixed evaluation budget, gains in optimization capability on AI R&D tasks translate to gains in research efficiency." https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.11873 > The Last AI Built by Humans: Toward Genuine Recursive Self-Improvement
