HALO — Hierarchical Agent Loop Optimizer
HALO (Hierarchical Agent Loop Optimizer) is an RLM-based methodology for recursively self-improving AI agents. It analyzes agent execution traces and suggests changes, boosting AppWorld performance from 73.7 to 89.5 (+15.8 pts) with Claude Sonnet 4.6 — a new SOTA for agent optimization.
