EmbodiedRSI: Active Continual Robot Learning Through Hypothesis-Guided Co-Evolution

Abstract

Robot foundation models provide strong visuomotor control, yet their performance can degrade when object positions or task instructions change. Further improvements often require post-training on substantial robot data, which can be costly to collect through methods such as teleoperation. Agentic harnesses can adapt around the model, but current self-evolving harnesses use robot trials inefficiently when deciding which code and skill changes to pursue. We introduce EmbodiedRSI, a self-evolving agentic harness that autonomously decides where to explore next and turns the resulting physical interaction into improved code and skills. EmbodiedRSI realizes this through a Fast-Slow Dual-System Architecture, in which competing code and skill hypotheses are maintained in a Hypothesis Graph. Value-of-Information Experiment Selection chooses physical experiments that can distinguish these hypotheses. Their outcomes guide Code-Skill Co-Evolution. The Slow System builds Hierarchical Memory, and Reward-Grounded Memory Learning selects effective memory according to their value for later Fast-System improvement. On RoboCasa365, EmbodiedRSI reaches 77.0% overall success and 71.3% on Composite-Unseen, compared with 40.1% for the best baseline. EmbodiedRSI also reaches 86.8% overall success on LIBERO-Pro. Beyond benchmark performance, EmbodiedRSI transfers zero-shot to real-world robot, achieving 71.3% overall success across multiple challenging tasks.

Thought-Like-Pro: Enhancing Reasoning of Large Language Models through Self-Bootstrapped Prolog-based Chain-of-Thought

Large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities as general-purpose assistants, excelling in a wide range of reasoning tasks and supporting various aspects of daily web usage. This achievement represents a significant step toward achieving artificial general intelligence. Despite these advancements, the effectiveness of large language models often hinges on the specific prompting strategies employed, and there remains a lack of a robust framework to facilitate learning and generalization across diverse reasoning tasks. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel learning framework, Thought-Like-Pro. In this framework, we utilize imitation learning to imitate the Chain-of-Thought process which is verified and translated from reasoning trajectories generated by a symbolic Prolog logic engine. This framework proceeds in a prompt-guided but self-bootstrapped manner, that enables large language models to formulate rules and statements from given instructions and leverage the symbolic Prolog engine to derive results. Subsequently, large language models convert Prolog-derived successive reasoning trajectories into natural language chain-of-thought for imitation learning. The empirical findings indicate that our proposed approach greatly improves the reasoning capacity of large language models. By employing model averaging techniques, our method exhibits only a marginal decline in performance for distributional extrapolation tasks, showing robust generalization capabilities. We present a technical approach that integrates symbolic reasoning with language modeling, with the potential to support the development of large language models as cognitively inspired systems. The part of the dataset we used has been open-sourced.

AgentFly: Scaling Agentic Reinforcement Learning with Unified Resource System

Methods to build LLM agents have evolved from prompt engineering and supervised finetuning to agentic reinforcement learning (agentic RL). However, agentic RL remains bottlenecked by its surrounding systems: agents must interact with heterogeneous environments, such as sandboxes, model services, and external APIs. Their allocation, reuse, and lifecycle dominate rollout cost and cap the scale at which training becomes practical. In this work, we present AgentFly, an agentic RL framework built with a unified resource layer that treats each of these environments as a distinct, typed resource scheduled through one engine, with per-tool acquisition for multi-turn reuse, asynchronous backpressure, and rollout versus global-scoped lifecycles. AgentFly adopts a four-layer design: (I) agent layer that abstracts the agent, tool, and reward concepts, decomposing agentic RL into defining agents, tools, and reward functions; (II) rollout layer that composes these into agent loops and computes rewards; (III) context layer that organizes rollouts, injects contextual information, and arranges resources; and (IV) a low-level resource layer that performs resource management. We provide a suite of prebuilt tools and environments, demonstrate successful agent training across multiple tasks and models, and report the first controlled cross-framework throughput comparison against agentic RL frameworks.

Neural Architecture Discovery via Autonomous Evolution

Recent progress in LLM agents has advanced the prospect of autonomous research. Yet whether AI can complete difficult long-horizon tasks, especially those that advance AI research itself, remains largely unexplored. We present ASI-Arch, a system for AI-driven AI research that autonomously conducts neural architecture research through a closed-loop research-experiment-analyze-update process. Applied to linear attention, ASI-Arch ran 1,773 iterative experiments and discovered 105 state-of-the-art architectures. Its best architecture improves over DeltaNet by nearly three times the gain achieved by Mamba2. Beyond the final performance gains, we analyze the contributions of different parts of the framework in this hard research setting, shedding light on what enables autonomous progress in complex AI research tasks.
