🤖 AGI Market Research: Self Evolving Agent

Our latest thought piece, Self-Evolving Agents: The Emerging Stack and Field Insights, explores a new era in AI: self-evolving agents—systems that generate, evaluate, and improve themselves. From the Darwin Gödel Machine’s theoretical foundations to real-world experiments at our hackathon, the blog examines how agents are evolving across coding, biomedicine, and business workflows. It highlights the emerging “self-evolution stack,” including memory, orchestration, and tool layers, and explains why the next platform-defining AI companies will turn the outer loop of learning into a tangible product.
