Self-Evolve With a Reference:Anchored Training of Tool-Integrated Agents

Self-evolving tool-integrated agents learn from tasks and feedback generated within their own training loop.

Key points

  • A Curriculum Agent generates tasks, while an Executor Agent learns from self-consistency signals through reinforcement learning.
  • We propose AnchorLoop, which introduces a frozen copy of the previous iteration's Executor as a historical reference and reuses it on both sides of the training loop.
  • Across 13 reasoning benchmarks, AnchorLoop improves over Agent0 by 2.5% on mathematical reasoning and 2.8% on general reasoning tasks.
  • These results demonstrate the benefit of introducing a lightweight historical reference into self-evolving tool-integrated agents without external task or answer supervision.
