Darwin Gödel Machine - AI that evolves by modifying its own code

Features

• The Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM) is an AI that keeps improving its performance by modifying its own code
• Whereas the original Gödel Machine concept stayed at self-improvement based on mathematical proofs, DGM applies meta-learning and evolutionary open-ended algorithms to repeatedly generate code that actually improves performance
• On real coding benchmarks such as SWE-bench and Polyglot, its performance is significantly higher than existing hand-designed agents
• DGM accumulates diverse improvement paths in an archive, achieving evolutionary exploration in multiple directions and generalized improvements to agent design
• For AI safety, the entire self-modification process is managed with sandboxing, human oversight, and transparent records, and research on detecting and responding to potential risks is carried out in parallel
