Darwin Gödel Machine (Sakana AI)
github.com/jennyzzt/dgmOpen-ended self-improving agent that iteratively rewrites its own codebase and empirically validates each mutation on coding benchmarks (SWE-bench, Polyglot), demonstrating open-ended evolution where agents improve their ability to improve themselves, diverging into a population of diverse specialists (arXiv 2505.22954, 2.3K+ stars, Apache 2.0, 2025)
