PILOT makes agent self-improvement live, letting a supervisor abort or redirect a worker mid-run
Submitted 2026-08-27 and sitting at 26 upvotes on Hugging Face Daily Papers, PILOT argues that processing experience only after a run ends means you can never redirect the active run. Its supervisor-worker harness couples live steering, where a separate supervisor redirects or aborts the running worker, with live updates to the persistent harness itself. The framing is a direct critique of both single-agent self-correction (which mixes execution and assessment in one context) and ordinary subagent delegation (which separates them but cannot intervene once a subagent is running).
