Li and colleagues introduce Recursive Self-Rewrite, a pipeline for turning solutions found with specialized agent controllers into supervised training data compatible with a general-purpose controller.

The authors automatically curated roughly 3,000 difficult terminal tasks spanning more than 50 domains, including science, software, hardware and data.
