Can Rewriting an AI Agent Bend the Intelligence Curve? - Zhengyao Jiang

Weco let an AI coding agent rewrite the harness around a fixed language model for eight days. Zhengyao Jiang explains what the reported gains show, where the evidence stops short of recursive self-improvement, how reward hacking complicates evaluation, and why human-designed abstractions still anchor the search.

The Unbearable Lightness of Agent Optimization — Alberto Romero, Jointly

This talk introduces Meta-ACE, a learned meta-optimization framework that dynamically orchestrates multiple strategies (context evolution, adaptive compute, hierarchical verification, and more) to maximize AI agent performance. The framework profiles each task to select an optimal strategy bundle, overcoming the single-dimension limitations of previous methods.
