AWS and HSBC propose Double Ratchet, a grader that evolves with the agent
Overview
AWS and HSBC researchers propose Double Ratchet, a self-evolving grader for self-improving agents.
According to a report by Rohan Paul on X, the grader is built from small, mostly rule-based checks that co-evolve with the agent's skills from 10 labeled examples. A grader version is chosen for agreeing with those examples, not for raising the agent's score.
The researchers report that across code, SQL, and report tasks, Double Ratchet kept 88% to 110% of the gain that ground truth or a rubric gave the same skill loop.

Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_aiXAWS and HSBC paper proposes a grader that evolves alongside self-improving agentsAIAWS and HSBC researchers describe Double Ratchet, which co-evolves an inspectable grader with an agent's skills from 10 labeled examples. The grader is built from small, mostly rule-based checks, and a version is chosen for agreement with those examples rather than for raising the agent's score. Across code, SQL, and report tasks, it kept 88% to 110% of the gain that ground truth or a rubric gave the same skill loop.
