arXiv:2609.38516v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can now improve themselves by revising the instructions they follow, and LLM agents are increasingly orchestrated to work together on complex problems. However, self-improvement methods typically optimize one system at a time, and multi-agent frameworks often have every model work toward a shared goal. We ask a different question. When each agent pursues its own reward, can self-improving LLMs learn from one another well enough to improve the whole population? We call this capability recursive social improve
