arXiv:2605.30003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study two-level autoresearch for cooperation: an outer-loop AI agent autonomously redesigns the inner-loop pipeline of an LLM policy-synthesis system for multi-agent Sequential Social Dilemmas (SSDs). A researcher agent $\mathcal{R}$ (run as a coding agent) reads the inner-loop source code, edits system prompts, feedback functions, helper libraries, and iteration logic, runs evaluations, and decides what to keep, following the autoresearch paradigm. Across two games (Cleanup and Gathering), two policy-synthesizer LLMs, and two welfare object
The rapid advancement of large language models and multi-agent systems necessitates more sophisticated and autonomous methods for optimizing AI cooperation in complex environments.
This development pushes the boundaries of AI autonomy by enabling AI systems to not only solve problems but also optimize their own underlying architecture and collaboration strategies.
AI development moves towards self-optimizing pipelines, where AI agents can autonomously redesign their own system prompts, feedback loops, and iteration logic, leading to more robust and adaptive AI cooperation.

AI systems will become more efficient at discovering cooperative strategies in challenging multi-agent environments without human intervention.
This autonomy could accelerate the deployment of self-optimizing AI agents across various industries, including logistics, scientific discovery, and automated decision-making.
The ability for AI to self-redesign and optimize its own cooperative frameworks could lead to novel AI architectures that are beyond current human design capabilities, potentially creating new forms of intelligence.
