New benchmark ASPIRE tests LLM self-evolution from vague goals

Researchers have introduced ASPIRE, a new benchmark designed to test Large Language Model (LLM) self-evolution capabilities when given vague, natural-language goals rather than explicit tasks. Unlike existing methods that rely on human-defined objectives, ASPIRE requires agents to interpret the goal, identify learning needs, select data and update methods, and create their own evaluation signals. Experiments show that while agents can engage in training and harness-editing loops, achieving stable improvements in model weights remains challenging, and even the best evolved agents have not surpassed engineered references like Qwen-Agent.
