从静态大语言模型向自进化智能体的过渡受限于传统进化方法缺乏结构化推理。现有方法常因过早收敛和高维代码空间中探索效率低而受阻。为此,我们提出LoongFlow,一种自进化智能体框架,在显著降低计算成本的同时实现业界最优解质量。不同于“盲突变”算子,LoongFlow将大模型融入认知型“计划-执行-总结”(PES)范式,将进化搜索映射为重推理过程。为保持长期架构一致性,引入混合进化记忆系统,结合多岛模型、MAP-Elites与自适应玻尔兹曼选择,理论上平衡探索与利用,维持多样化行为生态位以防止优化停滞。我们在通用算法发现智能体与机器学习流水线优化智能体上实例化LoongFlow。在AlphaEvolve基准和Kaggle竞赛中的广泛评估表明,其进化效率比领先基线(如OpenEvolve、ShinkaEvolve)最高提升60%,并发现更优解。LoongFlow标志着自主科学发现的重要进展,以更低计算开销生成专家级解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The transition from static Large Language Models (LLMs) to self-improving agents is hindered by the lack of structured reasoning in traditional evolutionary approaches. Existing methods often struggle with premature convergence and inefficient exploration in high-dimensional code spaces. To address these challenges, we introduce LoongFlow, a self-evolving agent framework that achieves state-of-the-art solution quality with significantly reduced computational costs. Unlike "blind" mutation operators, LoongFlow integrates LLMs into a cognitive "Plan-Execute-Summarize" (PES) paradigm, effectively mapping the evolutionary search to a reasoning-heavy process. To sustain long-term architectural coherence, we incorporate a hybrid evolutionary memory system. By synergizing Multi-Island models with MAP-Elites and adaptive Boltzmann selection, this system theoretically balances the exploration-exploitation trade-off, maintaining diverse behavioral niches to prevent optimization stagnation. We instantiate LoongFlow with a General Agent for algorithmic discovery and an ML Agent for pipeline optimization. Extensive evaluations on the AlphaEvolve benchmark and Kaggle competitions demonstrate that LoongFlow outperforms leading baselines (e.g., OpenEvolve, ShinkaEvolve) by up to 60% in evolutionary efficiency while discovering superior solutions. LoongFlow marks a substantial step forward in autonomous scientific discovery, enabling the generation of expert-level solutions with reduced computational overhead.
