Selection Is Not Learning: Choosing Model Futures

arXiv:2610.22029v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-evolving language models train on tasks they generate, so every round must decide which updated model the next round inherits. Current loops such as R-Zero, Agent0, and Skill Self-Play make this decision through the task, admitting tasks that look learnable and inheriting every resulting update. We identify a selection-to-update gap in these loops, where a task that looks learnable need not produce a useful update. Most updates on verified tasks fail to make correct answers more likely, yet these loops inherit them all. HeirCommit freezes
