AI theory explains iterative self-improvement and curriculum learning

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework for iterative self-improvement in large language models, analyzing how models fine-tune themselves on their own verified outputs. The study reveals a feedback loop where improved models can process more data, leading to sustained improvement that eventually saturates. By adopting a task-centric approach with varying difficulty levels, the research demonstrates that curricula progressing from easier to harder tasks offer provably better results than fixed task mixtures.
