Self-Programmed Execution for Language-Model Agents

arXiv cs.AI

This paper introduces Self-Programmed Execution (SPE), an agent architecture where the language model generates its own orchestration program rather than relying on a fixed external harness. It presents 'Spell', a Lisp-based language enabling this self-editing and re-evaluation, demonstrating that frontier models can successfully perform agentic tasks using this method.
