一群智能体协作进化,共享经验实现持续自我提升。
Group-Evolving Agents: Open-Ended Self-Improvement via Experience Sharing
- 以群体为单位进行进化,通过共享经验提升效率。
- 在编码任务上表现优于现有方法,最高达88.3%准确率。
- 适合需要长期迭代优化与跨模型泛化的研究者。
开放式自进化智能体可自主修改自身结构以提升能力,减少对人工干预的依赖。我们提出群体演化智能体(GEA),将一组智能体视为基本进化单元,支持在整个进化过程中显式地共享与复用经验。与现有采用树状结构进化的范式不同,GEA克服了因进化分支孤立导致探索多样性利用效率低的问题。我们在具有挑战性的编码基准上评估了GEA,结果显著优于当前最先进的自进化方法(在SWE-bench Verified上为71.0%对比56.7%,在Polyglot上为88.3%对比68.3%),并达到或超过顶尖人工设计的智能体框架(分别为71.8%和52.0%)。分析表明,GEA更有效地将早期探索多样性转化为持续长期进展,在相同数量演化智能体下表现更强。此外,GEA在不同编码模型间具备一致迁移性,平均1.4次迭代即可修复框架级错误,远优于自进化方法的5次。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Open-ended self-improving agents can autonomously modify their own structural designs to advance their capabilities and overcome the limits of pre-defined architectures, thus reducing reliance on human intervention. We introduce Group-Evolving Agents (GEA), a new paradigm for open-ended self-improvements, which treats a group of agents as the fundamental evolutionary unit, enabling explicit experience sharing and reuse within the group throughout evolution. Unlike existing open-ended self-evolving paradigms that adopt tree-structured evolution, GEA overcomes the limitation of inefficient utilization of exploratory diversity caused by isolated evolutionary branches. We evaluate GEA on challenging coding benchmarks, where it significantly outperforms state-of-the-art self-evolving methods (71.0% vs. 56.7% on SWE-bench Verified, 88.3% vs. 68.3% on Polyglot) and matches or exceeds top human-designed agent frameworks (71.8% and 52.0% on two benchmarks, respectively). Analysis reveals that GEA more effectively converts early-stage exploratory diversity into sustained, long-term progress, achieving stronger performance under the same number of evolved agents. Furthermore, GEA exhibits consistent transferability across different coding models and greater robustness, fixing framework-level bugs in 1.4 iterations on average, versus 5 for self-evolving methods.
