Self-Improving AI Harnesses: Latest Research
Julian Ghadially shows agent-directed search matches evolutionary AI harness optimization.
Takeaways
- Agent-directed search is just as good, if not better, than evolutionary search.
- Evolution was beneficial on the old models, but it's just not seen anymore with models that are much more capable coding agents.
- There's literally no difference between the exploration for the Pareto evolution versus the agent-directed search.
- The starting state for agent-directed search doesn't matter so much, because if it has a bunch of bugs, the agent will usually find those bugs, fix them.
