How far are we from agents that can self-generate world knowledge? The work proposes an outcome-based reward that measures how much an agent’s self-generated world knowledge actually improves its task success rate. The external guidance is then removed at inference. Result: A

Training LLM Agents for Spontaneous, Reward-Free Self-Evolution via World Knowledge Exploration
This paper proposes a method to train LLM agents with intrinsic meta-evolution capabilities, enabling spontaneous self-improvement without external rewards at inference time. Applied to Qwen3-30B and Seed-OSS-36B, the approach yields a 20% performance boost on web navigation benchmarks, with a 14B model outperforming Gemini-2.5-Flash.

This paper introduces Agents-K1, a knowledge graph system built from 2.46 million papers that improves AI agent research by incorporating text, figures, tables, and equations, along with a five-level citation classification. It significantly boosts performance of top models like Gemini-3 and GPT-5.2 on benchmarks, demonstrating that refining knowledge structure can be more effective than scaling model size.
