摘要 Black-box optimization (BBO) arises in many scientific and engineering problems where objective evaluations are expensive and limited. Recent large language model (LLM) agents offer a new way to approach BBO by combining task semantics, computation, optimization tools, and feedback-driven decision making, showing great potential due to the integration with mathematically rigorous tools. However, existing agentic BBO studies use different task domains and system configurations, making their results difficult to compare and the effects of individual design choices hard to isolate. We therefore introduce AgenticBBO-Bench, a cross-domain benchmark for agentic BBO spanning synthetic functions, hyperparameter optimization, database tuning, chip design, and molecular design under a unified finite-budget evaluation protocol. In our experiments, agentic BBO achieves higher family-averaged scores than direct LLM-based methods in all five domains and outperforms the best numerical optimizers in four. We further study three factors shaping agent performance: optimization tools, task information and prior knowledge, and the role of the LLM during search. Our results show that additional numerical tools do not consistently improve performance, task semantics are broadly useful while more specific priors are less reliable, and numerical optimizers can effectively absorb gains from search trajectories established by the agent. Finally, we introduce a five-task frontier challenge within AgenticBBO-Bench and evaluate seven LLMs under the Codex agent harness, where GPT-6 Astra and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash lie on the Pareto frontier of performance and cost among the evaluated models. Our code is available at https://github.com/lamda-bbo/agentic-bbo.

摘要 The evolution of Large Language Model agents from single-task execution to long-term autonomous operation highlights the critical challenge of transforming continuous experiences into reusable knowledge. To address this, we propose Hippocam, a hierarchical memory and continual learning architecture. Hippocam draws inspiration from two characteristics of human memory: cognitive processes selectively maintain information relevant to current goals, while long-term memories form gradually through repeated consolidation. Accordingly, Hippocam structures an agent's ongoing work as nested intents. The active context remains centered on the current intent, while completed intents are consolidated into the task-relevant outcomes and state needed for subsequent work, rather than carrying forward their full working details. Concurrently, a recursive prefix consolidation mechanism repeatedly consolidates earlier history, causing long-unused experiences to become increasingly abstract. Original interactions are preserved, allowing the agent to progressively recover finer-grained details through the hierarchy and stop once sufficient information is available. Crucially, when past experiences are recalled and reintegrated into active work, they undergo subsequent consolidation alongside new experiences, thereby being reinforced, supplemented, and updated. Through this memory dynamic of use and disuse, Hippocam connects working context, long-term memory, knowledge accumulation, and skill learning within a single continuously evolving experiential process. This enables agents to learn and evolve capabilities through their own experiences without parameter updates.
