Google proposes RRSI to curb self-improving agent overfitting
What happened
On October 4, The Decoder reported that Google researchers proposed RRSI, which constrains the self-optimization of an agent's runtime framework to reduce memorization of and overfitting to test tasks and improve performance on unseen tasks. The study kept Claude Opus 4.8 frozen and tested on 8 benchmarks: training-task performance rose by up to 14.1 points, and performance on 5 unseen benchmarks rose by up to 4.7 points. RRSI used about 30% fewer runtime tokens than the unregularized version.
