<spanclass="lang-en" lang="en"><strong>Abstract:</strong> The release notes of <ahref="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Claude Fable 5</a>, <ahref="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-6/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GPT-5.6</a>, <ahref="https://www.kimi.com/ja-jp/blog/kimi-k3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Kimi K3</a>, and <ahref="https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GLM-5.2</a> point at one thing: keep a model working on agentic tasks, and let it evolve from its own execution. Whether AI can improve AI still draws conflicting answers, largely because the relevant literatures do not define autonomy and improvement the same way. This survey covers more than 200 papers and technical reports, and defines long-horizon execution as a repeated plan–execute–feedback–repair loop. AI for AI introduces no new capability class: replace the target of one such execution, so that “finish this task” becomes “improve this system,” keep plan, execute, feedback, and repair as they are, and what comes out is AI4AI. We release a 67-entry benchmark inventory and a close analysis of 35 representative AI4AI systems. Agents are increasingly capable at reproducing, implementing, and optimizing executable artifacts, while research judgment, experimental sufficiency, and sustained post-peak improvement remain open.</span>
<spanclass="lang-en" lang="en"><strong>Abstract:</strong> Frontier releases including <ahref="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Claude Fable 5</a>, <ahref="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-6/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GPT-5.6</a>, <ahref="https://www.kimi.com/ja-jp/blog/kimi-k3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Kimi K3</a>, and <ahref="https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GLM-5.3</a> are converging on sustained agentic work. AI agents can now run experiments, modify code and training pipelines, and iteratively improve AI artifacts, yet the relevant information is scattered across distinct concepts such as long-horizon agents, AI4AI, self-improvement, and recursive self-improvement. This survey asks how far an AI system can reliably carry an improvement process from idea to a validated result. Across model design, agent harnesses, benchmarks, automated research, and self-modifying systems, a consistent pattern emerges: AI is becoming increasingly capable at planning, coding, experimentation, optimization, and repair. Yet humans still largely determine the goals, evaluation criteria, and what counts as progress. Strong component performance also rarely translates into reliable end-to-end improvement; we call this the <strong>composition gap</strong>. Current systems can produce impressive improvements under bounded conditions, but evidence for reliable research judgment, causal experimentation, persistent gains, and compounding improvement remains limited.</span>

<spanclass="lang-zh" lang="zh-CN"><strong>摘要:</strong><ahref="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Claude Fable 5</a>、<ahref="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-6/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GPT-5.6</a>、<ahref="https://www.kimi.com/ja-jp/blog/kimi-k3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Kimi K3</a>、<ahref="https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GLM-5.3</a>等前沿模型正在共同指向持续的 agentic 工作。AI agent 已经能够运行实验、修改代码与训练流程,并迭代改进 AI artifact,但相关信息分散在 long-horizon agent、AI4AI、self-improvement 与 recursive self-improvement 等不同概念中。这篇综述围绕一个问题展开:AI 系统能否可靠地把改进从想法推进到验证后的结果?梳理 model design、agent harness、benchmark、automated research 和 self-modifying system 等方向后,我们看到一个稳定的模式:AI 已越来越擅长规划、编码、实验、优化和修复;但目标、评测标准以及“什么算进步”仍主要由人决定;单项能力的高分也很少能转化为可靠的端到端改进,我们将这一落差称为 <strong>composition gap</strong>。现有系统已能在边界清晰的条件下取得改进,但对可靠研究判断、因果实验、持续增益和复合式自我改进的证据仍然有限。</span>
