👋 Hi everyone! Long time no see
We're the LlamaFactory team. After passing 70k stars on GitHub, we're now building the "LlamaFactory" of recursive self-improvement (RSI), towards a unified, efficient, stable, and flexible framework for agent self-evolution. Excited to share our team's latest work with you all.
TL;DR:
🐧 We've open-sourced PenguinHarness, a multi-agent self-evolution framework that brings every RSI algorithm under one roof, over 2,600 GitHub stars.
📖 To get a fuller picture of existing RSI work, we went through 140 papers, organized and categorized them into the awesome-rsi repo, and published a survey paper.
📊 To compare self-evolution efficiency across algorithms fairly, we built GDPevo, a self-evolution benchmark covering 6 enterprise scenarios and 240 tasks, and used it to evaluate 6 mainstream agents.
The details:
Following the same philosophy as LlamaFactory, we want to bring all RSI-related data, models, algorithms, and benchmarks into a unified open-source harness, so everyone can try and debug RSI more easily. We've already integrated 5 RSI algorithms and 7 benchmarks, and we're aiming for 100+ down the road.
Borrowing from DSH's "everything is a plugin" approach, we've packaged every algorithm and benchmark as a plugin. They're fully decoupled, so users can freely mix and match any RSI algorithm to evolve different agents. We also built a modern desktop client that installs in one click on any OS and runs locally, so you can grab the latest version from our website.

To better understand where the academic work stands today, we open-sourced the awesome-rsi repo and published a survey paper covering 140 recent works. We also mapped the trajectory of RSI against that of deep learning — many concepts line up one-to-one, only now the subject is an agent.

To better evaluate how different harnesses and methods perform at self-evolution, we built the GDPevo benchmark, spanning 6 real-world enterprise scenarios and 240 tasks. With a train/val split, it fairly measures an agent's self-evolution ability while guarding against overfitting.

This post isn't just about our work. We're also hoping to invite friends from academia and industry to join our open-source project. If you'd like to see your name on an open-source project and co-author papers with us, DM us and let's talk!
