A mechanism survey from Gödel Machines, AlphaEvolve, Darwin Gödel Machine, SEAL, and ADAS to RRSI harness evolution—separating bounded self-refinement from open-ended RSI, and demonstrated loops from hype.

From Reflexion, Voyager, and STaR to DGM, AlphaEvolve, ACE, and Hyperagents: a map of self-evolving agents along two axes, what evolves and how it evolves. Then a look at the 2026 evaluation work that breaks the assumption that a rising score means a stronger agent, the four bottlenecks (reward hacking, forgetting, safety drift, cost), and a verdict on which approaches work, which are packaging, and where the field goes next.

A deep read of arXiv:2609.18366 CHASE—automatic harness optimization can exploit benchmark-wide shortcuts on a fixed released protocol; a Challenger searches executable protocol transforms with a validity firewall and held-out confirmation, retaining released gains while cutting gain destruction on Syn-Ledger and OfficeQA.

Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch is packed with autonomous agent startups. The deeper signal is not more AI copilots, but software that replaces SaaS workflows outright.
