The authors introduce ABCAgent, which specifies an FM agent's behavior as a symbolic program (Python code with optional neural calls).

The authors propose ABCAgent, where agent behavior is fully specified as a Python program, with the FM agent editing the program when execution failures occur or when the task changes.
