Summary
According to a post on X by @jdzhang0929, Jingdong Zhang and collaborators built Flex-RSI, a benchmark in which an agent repeatedly refines its own solution, tools and prompts for a downstream task. The refinement happens within a declared budget of time, tokens, API spend or GPU hours, and the final result is scored on held-out test data. The snippet says the tasks span robot control in RoboCasa and RoboDojo, and ARC-AG, though the list is cut off. The source describes the benchmark as a way to measure frontier agents' recursive self-improvement, but the snippet does not give results.

Why it matters
Builders of agent systems may use this kind of benchmark to compare how well different models improve their own tooling under fixed resource limits. Teams focused on robotics and reasoning tasks may find the named environments relevant to their own evaluations. Watch for the full paper or results to see how agents actually perform and how the budgets are set.
