让智能体与评估者共同进化,突破静态评测限制。

The Red Queen Gödel Machine: Co-Evolving Agents and Their Evaluators

  • 引入周期性评估机制,允许评价标准随智能体进化动态调整。
  • 在代码评测中减少1.35倍至1.72倍的令牌消耗,同时提升通过率。
  • 适用于论文写作、竞赛证明等复杂任务,适合追求持续进化的研究者。

自改进智能体在代理编程基准上表现优异,但其搜索方法通常假设评估标准固定不变。本文提出红皇后哥德尔机器(RQGM),将评估纳入自我改进循环,允许评价标准随智能体演化而变化。通过分周期设计,每个周期内评估标准固定,周期间可更新目标函数,保障每阶段的改进有效性。实验显示,在可验证代码任务中,引入智能体作为评审者的信号使测试通过率提升,且令牌消耗减少1.35–1.72倍;在科学论文撰写与评审、奥数级证明生成与评分中,共进化作者和评审者分别实现1.78–1.86倍更高的录用率和9%的准确率提升。相比基线,最佳评审器对AI生成论文的误接受率高达人类的1.91倍,而RQGM通过对抗目标纠正此偏差,使评审对人机作品同样严格。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Self-improving agents are state-of-the-art (SOTA) on agentic coding benchmarks and have recently been extended to general domains. However, their search methods generally assume a stationary evaluation criterion: a fixed verifier, benchmark, or labeled dataset that remains valid as the agent improves. This ignores a central feature of evolution: species adapt as their environments change with them. We aim to bring the same principle to recursive self-improvement, making evaluation part of the improvement loop and opening search to evolving evaluators, adversarial objectives, and dynamic utilities that may surpass static benchmarks. We introduce the Red Queen Godel Machine (RQGM), an evolutionary framework for recursive self-improvement under non-stationary utilities. The RQGM makes this possible through controlled utility evolution: search is organized into epochs with a fixed within-epoch evaluation criterion, while the utility can be updated at epoch boundaries, so self-improvement guarantees hold per epoch as the objective evolves across them. We begin by showing that even on verifiable coding tasks, the RQGM improves test pass rate over the prior SOTA by adding a complementary agent-as-a-judge code-review signal. This signal is cheaper and the RQGM uses 1.35x-1.72x fewer tokens. We then turn to scientific paper writing and reviewing, and Olympiad-level proof writing and grading, where the RQGM improves performance over prior self-improving agents: co-evolved writers reach 1.78x-1.86x higher acceptance rates under a diverse agent-as-a-judge panel, while co-evolved graders reach 9% higher ground-truth accuracy. In paper reviewing, the strongest baseline reviewer over-accepts AI-generated papers at up to 1.91x the human rate. The RQGM corrects this by introducing an adversarial objective that discovers reviewers equally stringent on AI and human work.
