FreeEvolve: Learning to Evolve Beyond Fixed Loops

Agent evolvers automate the design of the prompts, skills and workflows around language model agents, yet the optimization process they follow is still designed by hand: a fixed search loop decides how candidates are evaluated, which are kept and when the search stops. We propose FREEEVOLVE, which automates this proces …

AIProver: Agentic Auto-Formalization of Mathematical Research via Certificate-Driven Evolving Harness

Proof auto-formalization translates natural-language (NL) theorems and proofs into a formal language (FL) such as Lean, enabling mechanical verification. Despite rapid progress, research-level proofs often depend on concepts missing from leading proof assistant libraries (e.g., Lean's Mathlib), and successful compilati …

On the Off-Policy Teacher in On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as a promising post-training paradigm in which the student learns from trajectories generated by its own policy under dense teacher supervision. However, OPD introduces a fundamental asymmetry: although the sampled trajectories are on-policy for the student, they are of …
