Agents Trained to Self-Improve From Their Own Experience

Agentic AI research increasingly trains tool-use agents on their own generated experience in verifiable environments, using self-distillation and self-play to escape reliance on fixed teacher trajectories and sparse RL rewards; expect recurring methods that let agents bootstrap capability from execution feedback rather than human demonstrations.
