Recursive Self-Improvement of AI Research Agents

The paper explores recursive self-improvement in AI research agents, where an AI system autonomously enhances its own code through iterative optimization. AIDE^2, a system implementing this process, discovered multiple improvements in an 8-day run, including new search policies and memory mechanisms, with results generalizing across various benchmarks and demonstrating reduced reward hacking.
