摘要 Recursive self-improvement requires agents to turn accumulated experience into better future behavior. Personal AI agents offer a concrete setting for studying this capability because they retain preferences, task histories, tool routines, and learned skills across sessions. Yet whether retained experience actually improves them over time has not been systematically tested. We introduce PAST-Bench, a benchmark designed to isolate this question. Each agent runs through ordered sequences of fresh-session tasks under matched conditions that turn retained experience on and off. It spans 26 scenarios and 204 episodes across memory, procedural reuse, information gathering, and update. We report both later-task gains and whether those gains follow the intended save, retrieve, and update pathway. Across seven base models and four agent frameworks, improvement is real but uneven across capabilities. Agents with the same headline gain can differ markedly in whether that gain is supported by evidence of the intended pathway. Guided by these findings, we develop Hermes+, which extends Hermes with five targeted interventions across stages of the agent loop. Hermes+ raises the average gain from retained experience and provides clearer pathway evidence, with its strongest improvement on tasks requiring outdated state to be replaced, although the effect remains capability- and model-dependent. Together, PAST-Bench and Hermes+ provide an evaluation and diagnostic foundation for studying how persistent agents can progress from retaining experience to systematically improving through it.

摘要 Human input reaches language models by typing or speaking, and each channel leaves a distinct signature: orthographic noise for keyboards; for voice, disfluency from conventional transcription and restructuring from AI-backed dictation tools. How do they impact an LLM's performance? In this paper we present HIVE (Human Input-Variation Engine), a suite of voice transcription perturbations and QWERTY keyboard perturbations. We use HIVE to evaluate how robust models are to these perturbations. We present seven findings. (i) Voice transcription perturbations lower accuracy across every instruction-tuned model we test, and it is the structure of the transcription rather than its fillers that carries the cost. (ii) QWERTY keyboard perturbations cost less, and a model absorbs a lot of them before accuracy falls away. (iii) Both trace back to one cause, how many of the question's tokens survive the perturbation: destroying a token is what hurts, while adding new ones alongside it costs little. (iv) The gap between the two channels appears only where the answer must be constructed or deduced; on multiple choice there is none. (v) The harm does not solely come from test-set contamination. (vi) It cannot be trained away with lightweight adaptation. (vii) A thinking budget recovers the keyboard channel almost entirely but leaves the spoken registers untouched, and compressed speech is worse with it.
