    Okay how are Add nodes created? Does an LLM come up with the name, guidance and edges for each node or is it a bespoke transformer model?

    No idea what this site is. Paper is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2609.09153" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2609.09153</a>

    The distinction between a procedural graph and a static workflow seems important: self-editing topology can capture reusable strategy, but it also makes regressions harder to localize. I’d be curious whether the refinement loop treats a successful trajectory as sufficient evidence, or uses counterexamples and held-out tasks to avoid encoding a brittle shortcut. A practical evaluation might report graph churn and rollback frequency alongside task success, since a graph that keeps growing could be trading inference cost and auditability for a small gain. The explicit entity–relation–procedure representation also seems like a promising place to attach permissions or provenance to tool calls.

      What if open-ended agents are overkill for 99% of problems? Let&#x27;s just take that premise for a second. Most organizations want to follow &quot;best practices&quot; and train their employees to do so. Hiring a genius and giving him total freedom to complete every task is not what companies usually want for MOST things. They want repeatability, reliability, predictability. Especially if they are regulated.<p>I&#x27;m going to drop a bomb over here: what if agents are the root of all our problems in AI safety, cost, and even adoption by regulated organizations? I really do believe this.

        your load-bearing thesis is probably interesting but it seems i can&#x27;t read AI written text anymore -- or maybe i just need some more coffee.
