我们提出去中心化的智能体演化集成框架EvE,将现有高性能编程智能体组织为一个动态共进化系统,用于算法发现。不重复造轮子,而是固定基础智能体,专注于演化累积引导与技能以决定行为。通过维护功能代码求解器和智能体引导状态两个共演化种群,系统采用同步竞速评估方式,基于其对当前求解状态的边际贡献更新经验埃尔洛评分。应用于上下文操作网络(ICON)的研究瓶颈时,EvE自主发现了可靠的重缩放-插值机制,实现对示例数量的稳健泛化。关键消融实验表明,阶段依赖的智能体适应对应对复杂代码库搜索空间变化至关重要。相比固定初始智能体或冻结‘最佳演化’智能体的变体,EvE独特地避免了阶段错配,证明组织智能体形成自我修正的集成是突破静态性能极限的根本驱动力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We introduce the Evolving Ensemble of Agents (EvE), a decentralized framework that organizes existing, highly capable coding agents into a live, co-evolving system for algorithmic discovery. Rather than reinventing the wheel within the ``LLMs as optimizers'' paradigm, EvE fixes the base agent substrate and focuses entirely on evolving the cumulative guidance and skills that dictate agent behaviors. By maintaining two co-evolving populations, namely functional code solvers and agent guidance states, the system evaluates agents through a synchronous race, updating their empirical Elo ratings based on the marginal gains they contribute to the current solver state. When applied to a research bottleneck in In-Context Operator Networks (ICON), EvE autonomously discovered a robust rescale-then-interpolate mechanism that enables reliable example-count generalization. Crucially, controlled ablations reveal the absolute necessity of stage-dependent agent adaptation to navigate the shifting search landscapes of complex codebases. Compared to variants driven by a fixed initial agent or even a frozen ``best-evolved'' agent, EvE uniquely avoids phase mismatch, demonstrating that organizing agents into a self-revising ensemble is the fundamental driver for breaking through static performance ceilings.
