arXiv:2606.02461v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language agents spend substantial inference time solving individual tasks, yet the experience acquired in one episode is often underutilized in future episodes. Continual learning expects an agent to accumulate reusable experience across a stream of tasks, improve over time, and avoid interference from irrelevant experiences. Unfortunately, existing benchmarks struggle to evaluate continual learning in language agents rigorously. Most efforts focus on retrieval and reasoning over long-context conversations or documents, while recent lifelong-ad
The proliferation of language models and rapid advancement in AI capabilities are pushing the need for more robust, agentic evaluations that reflect real-world learning and adaptation.
Rigorous evaluation of continual learning is critical to developing truly autonomous and adaptive AI agents, moving beyond narrow task-specific applications.
The focus shifts from static, single-task evaluations to dynamic, multi-episode learning benchmarks for language agents, fostering more sophisticated AI development.
