Retrospective Harness Optimization: Improving LLM Agents via Self-Preference over Trajectory Rollouts

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Learn to improve LLM agents using Retrospective Harness Optimization (RHO), a self-supervised method that optimizes the harness without requiring labeled data, enabling better adaptation to new tasks

advanced Published 5 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement RHO using trajectory rollouts to optimize the harness of LLM agents
  2. Configure the self-preference mechanism to guide the optimization process
  3. Run experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of RHO in improving agent performance
  4. Apply RHO to real-world tasks to demonstrate its practical value
  5. Test and refine the RHO method to adapt to different problem domains
