Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, yet most LLM-based agents are statically deployed and unable to improve through task interactions. Existing experience-driven methods often rely on memory or heuristics without enhancing the model's ability to learn, treating it as a passive executor and leading to early performance plateaus and limited long-term improvement. To address this issue, we propose MetaEvo, a two-stage framework for continual agent evolution that focuses on improving how the model learns from tasks experience, rather than solely on what it stores. MetaEvo first applies preference-based optimization to enhance the model's ability of principle abstraction, then enables the accumulation and reuse of these principles within a modular agent architecture. Experimental results on diverse reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that MetaEvo consistently outperforms strong baselines, maintains reliable improvement across iterations. These findings validate the effectiveness of meta-optimization in enabling agents to learn from experience and continually enhance their reasoning capabilities.
