HyperAgents: Self-referential self-improving agents

Facebook Research's HyperAgents enables agents to iteratively rewrite and improve their own task code through self-referential loops, but explicitly warns that executing untrusted model-generated code carries significant security risks.

Facebook Research has open-sourced HyperAgents, a self-referential agent framework where a meta-agent iteratively rewrites task-agent code to improve performance across domains. The system uses a generate loop with foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and stores experiment logs for analysis. It explicitly warns that the repo executes untrusted, model-generated code — a meaningful safety consideration for practitioners evaluating agentic coding tools.
