SwarmResearch: Orchestrating Coding Agents for Open-Ended Discovery

arXiv:2607.02807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running coding agents such as autoresearch can persistently discover optimizations for open-ended problems. However, they tend to converge onto a single high-level approach, then proceed with low-level edits while missing other superior approaches to the problem. We hypothesize two harness-level design choices contribute to this behavior: accumulating context in a single long-running agent and only exposing a single program state to edit. We i
