Many recursively self-improving systems improve by editing their codebases based on observed rollout behavior. However, recent methods largely treat self-improvement as offline search: variants are optimized and evaluated on fixed benchmarks. This misaligns with real-world deployment, where tasks arrive sequentially and may have different distributions. We study recursive self-improvement as online learning over non-stationary task streams. In this setting, reliable execution and fallback are particularly difficult with limited evidence: different branches of self-improvement see different tasks, so raw rewards conflate capability with task difficulty, leading to overly conservative or optimistic reversion. We propose Online Anchor-calibrated Self-Improvement System (OASIS) that runs an adaptive reference agent on incoming tasks, converts raw rewards into paired comparisons, and uses confidence-calibrated rules for branch continuation and fallback without evaluating every agent on all tasks. Across SWE-Bench Pro and DeepResearch Bench, OASIS consistently improves over both the initial agent and prior RSI baseline SSA, raising the SWE-Bench Pro solve rate from 51.6% to 56.9% using Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and DeepResearch Bench from 35.18 to 39.31 using Gemini 3 Flash. This enables OASIS to outperform larger open weights and proprietary systems, including Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, Minimax 2.7, Qwen3.6-Plus, and GPT-5.3-Codex, with sustained deep self-improvements rather than shallow cycles.

Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents have excelled in various domains but face significant challenges when applied to data science workflows due to their complex, multi-stage nature. Current LLM-based agents struggle with non-linear relationships, recursive dependencies, implicit data- and logic-dependent reasoning, and managing extensive context. In this paper, we introduce Data Interpreter, an LLM-based agent that addresses these challenges through hierarchical graph-based modeling to represent the complexity and a progressive strategy for step-by-step verification, refinement, and consistent context management. Extensive experiments confirm the effectiveness of Data Interpreter. On InfiAgent-DABench, it boosts performance by 25% (from 75.9% to 94.9%), and on machine learning and open-ended tasks, it lifts accuracy from 88% to 95% and from 60% to 97%, respectively. Moreover, our method surpasses state-of-the-art baselines by 26% on the MATH dataset. We will release the code upon publication.

Long-form writing agents require flexible integration and interaction across information retrieval, reasoning, and composition. Current approaches rely on predefined workflows and rigid thinking patterns to generate outlines before writing, resulting in constrained adaptability during writing. In this paper we propose WriteHERE, a general agent framework that achieves human-like adaptive writing through recursive task decomposition and dynamic integration of three fundamental task types: retrieval, reasoning, and composition. Our methodology features: 1) a planning mechanism that interleaves recursive task decomposition and execution, eliminating artificial restrictions on writing workflow; and 2) integration of task types that facilitates heterogeneous task decomposition. Evaluations on both fiction writing and technical report generation show that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches across all automatic evaluation metrics, demonstrating the effectiveness and broad applicability of our proposed framework. We have publicly released our code and prompts to facilitate further research.
