This paper introduces Investigate-Consolidate-Exploit (ICE), a novel strategy for enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of AI agents through inter-task self-evolution. Unlike existing methods focused on intra-task learning, ICE promotes the transfer of knowledge between tasks for genuine self-evolution, similar to human experience learning. The strategy dynamically investigates planning and execution trajectories, consolidates them into simplified workflows and pipelines, and exploits them for improved task execution. Our experiments on the XAgent framework demonstrate ICE's effectiveness, reducing API calls by as much as 80% and significantly decreasing the demand for the model's capability. Specifically, when combined with GPT-3.5, ICE's performance matches that of raw GPT-4 across various agent tasks. We argue that this self-evolution approach represents a paradigm shift in agent design, contributing to a more robust AI community and ecosystem, and moving a step closer to full autonomy.

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LLMs improve only slightly and unstably from test-time experience on semantic reasoning games, while humans learn much faster.

  3. Training LLM-Based Agents with Synthetic Self-Reflected Trajectories and Partial Masking

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new agent-training method combining teacher-generated self-reflection corrections with partial masking of error steps improves open-source LLM agents on ALFWorld, WebShop, and SciWorld.
