让智能体通过不断实践自我进化,无需重训练就能变聪明。
MetaAgent: Toward Self-Evolving Agent via Tool Meta-Learning
- 用自然语言求助+工具路由实现边做边学。
- 在多个知识发现任务上超越基线模型,接近端到端训练水平。
- 适合研究自进化智能体或长期自主系统的人看。
本文提出MetaAgent,一种受‘做中学’启发的智能体范式,通过持续实践与自我改进发展专长。初始仅具备基础推理与自适应求助能力。遇到知识缺口时,生成自然语言求助请求,由专用工具路由分配至最合适的外部工具。解决任务过程中,持续进行自我反思与答案验证,将可操作经验提炼为简明文本并动态融入未来任务上下文。此外,MetaAgent可自主构建内部工具与持久化知识库,整合其工具使用历史,进一步提升信息检索与融合能力。我们称此持续、数据驱动的过程为‘元工具学习’,使MetaAgent在不更改模型参数或无需额外后训练的前提下,逐步优化推理与工具使用策略。在GAIA、WebWalkerQA和BrowseCamp等高难度知识发现基准上,MetaAgent始终优于基于工作流的基线,并达到或超过端到端训练智能体的表现,展示了自进化智能体在鲁棒、通用知识发现中的潜力。代码已开源:https://github.com/qhjqhj00/MetaAgent。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this work, we propose MetaAgent, an agentic paradigm inspired by the principle of learning-by-doing, where expertise is developed through hands-on practice and continual self-improvement. MetaAgent starts with a minimal workflow, equipped only with basic reasoning and adaptive help-seeking abilities. When a knowledge gap is encountered, MetaAgent generates natural language help requests, which are routed to the most suitable external tool by a dedicated tool router. As MetaAgent solves tasks, it continually conducts self-reflection and answer verification, distilling actionable experience into concise texts that are dynamically incorporated into future task contexts. Besides, MetaAgent autonomously builds in-house tools and a persistent knowledge base by organizing its tool-use history, further enhancing its ability to retrieve and integrate relevant information We term this continual, data-driven process as \textit{meta tool learning}, through which MetaAgent incrementally refines its reasoning and tool-use strategies, without changing model parameters or requiring further post-training. Evaluated on challenging knowledge discovery benchmarks, including GAIA, WebWalkerQA, and BrowseCamp, MetaAgent consistently outperforms workflow-based baselines and matches or exceeds end-to-end trained agents, demonstrating the promise of self-evolving agentic systems for robust, general-purpose knowledge discovery. We provide our source codes in https://github.com/qhjqhj00/MetaAgent.
