Self-Improvements in Modern Agentic Systems: A Survey

Abstract

arXiv:2607.13104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving autonomous agents are moving from research prototypes to deployed systems. The primary goal is controllable evolution, or adaptation, from experience with minimal or even no human input. This survey frames modern self-improving agents as adaptive systems that convert experience into accumulated capability gains. We offer a system-level framework that represents a modern agent as a configuration coupling a foundation model with an ope
