How Much of a Harness Does a Strong Agent Need for Autonomous ML Engineering?

Recent autonomous machine learning engineering (MLE) agents have made significant progress on public leaderboards. Often motivated by progress stagnation over long-horizon cycles and limited Large Language Model (LLM) primitives, modern MLE agents are deployed on top of increasingly elaborate machinery: multi-agent orchestrators, dedicated retrieval subagents, and more. While such harnesses expand, the use of more…

RLTL;DR: Self-Improvement by Internalizing Self-Generated Feedback

The common paradigm of reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is to let agents make multiple attempts at a task, and optimize towards the successful ones. This becomes problematic in the realms of self-improvement, where tasks are so difficult that the agent has a low or even no chance of success, and where there are…
