Generalized Agent Iteration: Unifying Iterative Policy Improvement and Recursive Self‑Improvement - AI Architecture & Engineering

Executive Takeaway Generalized Agent Iteration (GAI) formalizes the relationship between classic generalized policy iteration (GPI) and recursive self‑improvement (RSI). By treating the learning algorithm itself as a modifiable component of the agent, GAI clarifies when an improvement step is internal versus external, and when the evaluation standard is anchored, drifting, or fully self‑referential. For practitioners, […]
