Researchers introduce Recuris, a recursive Experiential-Working Memory architecture designed to address the challenges of recursive self-improvement in long-horizon tasks. The system uses Working Memory to track progress and guide skill selection from Experiential Memory, creating a bounded loop that localizes failures and updates skills based on current needs.

  • Recuris improves task success in 35 of 37 completed model-benchmark pairs across four benchmarks.
  • On tau-bench, it adds +17.8 points to GPT-5.6 Sol and +15.6 to Claude Opus 5, reaching 87.9%.
  • It adds +16.6/+13.5 points on Qwen3.6-27B/35B on SkillFlow.
  • The advantage widens as interaction horizons grow, adding +32.2 points on the longest tasks.
  • Common long-horizon failures are reduced by up to 80%.

This approach positions recursively evolving memory as a scalable foundation for recursive self-improvement, enabling agents to continuously transform accumulated experience into more effective behavior.
