Google DeepMind proposes Evo2 to co-evolve agent harness and weights
Overview
Google DeepMind proposes Evo2, a framework in which one policy acts as both Proposer and Reflector to co-evolve an agent's harness and its weights.
The paper reports 48.3% on SWE-bench Verified and 82.1% on Polyglot, against 41.0% and 62.6% for the strongest baselines.
The paper also reports that harness changes alone raise a GPT-5-mini agent from 24.4% to 48.3% on SWE-bench Verified. These results are the paper's own reported figures and have not been independently verified.
