What's new
It introduces a reward‑variation based refresh mechanism and separates answer verification from task generation, unlike prior methods that rely on self‑consistency.
Key result
On eleven benchmarks, A-RSI raises the average performance from 57.77 to 61.05 using 800 fresh tasks.
Why it matters
Builders can get better zero‑data models without human labels by automatically knowing when to create new training tasks.

Abstract
From the paperThe authors' own words.
Recursive self-improvement requires models not only to acquire useful training experience, but also to decide when their current experience has ceased to be useful. Existing methods often focus on what experience to generate next, while paying less attention to when fresh experience should be introduced. Many also construct training targets through self-consistency or majority voting, making supervision depend on the model's own uncertain predictions. We address these two questions separately: training dynamics determine when to acquire new experience, while the answers to new tasks remain independently checkable. A-RSI monitors reward variation and accuracy in training logs to refresh a task pool when its learning signal declines, without consulting validation or test scores. A static library of model-authored programs produces multimodal questions and derives their reference answers; we specify the task-generation contract, automatically verify chosen properties of the reward and refresh rules, and separately audit the generated answers. The training loop uses no external training examples or human-written answer labels. On the primary eleven-benchmark suite, A-RSI raises the performance average from 57.77 to 61.05 with 800 fresh tasks.
