arXiv 2608.08311 describes an agent that continuously rewrites its own tools, prompts, context assembly, and core implementation through reviewed commits. On Opus 5: 86.74% Terminal-Bench 2.1, 90.69% OSWorld-Verified, 0.2301 normalized reward on CL-Bench. It also documents "Hope," a 161-day public deployment evolving freely across seven surfaces. Roman Yampolskiy, best known for arguing advanced AI is uncontrollable, is a co-author, which is either reassuring or the opposite. 1,060 upvotes on HuggingFace Daily Papers, about 13x the next paper that day.
