My first thought was also that this is also reminiscent of RLMs - they are ought to solve the same problem as far as my understanding goes. Authors say "Self-improving AI systems aim to reduce reliance on human engineering by learning to improve their own learning and problem-solving processes" which is what RLM is trying to solve so my understanding is that this work shares the same goal but takes a different approach. E.g. instead of using REPL-like environment with multiple (or even single) agents, which is what RLMs are doing, they suggest using agents that can modify themselves. I didn't read the paper so I don't know how this really works but it caught my attention so if you could share more insights I would appreciate it.
