Agentic Harness Engineering: Observability-Driven Automatic Evolution of Coding-Agent Harnesses
Jiahang Lin, Shichun Liu, Chengjun Pan, et al. (2026-04-28)
Introduces Agentic Harness Engineering (AHE), a framework that automates harness-level evolution by instrumenting the engineering loop with observability pillars.
Achieved a pass@1 lift on Terminal-Bench 2 from 69.7% to 77.0%, surpassing human-designed harnesses like Codex-CLI.
RSI Relevance: Automates the "Environment" part of RSI. Proves that optimizing the tools and observation layers is as critical as optimizing weights.
Mutual Forcing: Dual-Mode Self-Evolution for Fast Autoregressive Audio-Video Character Generation
Yupeng Zhou, Lianghua Huang, Zhifan Wu, et al. (2026-04-28)
Proposes Mutual Forcing, a framework for fast autoregressive generation that integrates few-step and multi-step generation within a single weight-shared model.
Enables self-distillation and improved training-inference consistency.
RSI Relevance: Self-distillation mechanism within a single model reduces the need for external teacher models, a key step toward self-contained RSI units.
LLM-ReSum: A Framework for LLM Reflective Summarization through Self-Evaluation
Huyen Nguyen, Haoxuan Zhang, et al. (2026-04-28)
Introduces LLM-ReSum, a self-reflective summarization framework that integrates LLM-based evaluation and generation in a closed feedback loop.
Improves factual accuracy by up to 33% and coverage by 39%.
RSI Relevance: Closes the feedback loop for information processing. High-fidelity summarization is essential for maintaining "Memory Sanity" in long-running agents.
