arXiv:2606.00880v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual reinforcement learning (RL) aims to produce agents that never stop adapting to new tasks. A key question is how this interacts with the diversity of tasks an agent experiences. Prior work has shown that training on many diverse tasks leads to agents with strong zero-shot and in-context adaptation. However, this work evaluated agents after they'd stopped learning, i.e. with frozen weights. How task diversity affects an agent's ability to continue learning over a sequence of distribution shifts remains unclear. We introduce Bany
