📝 Abstract
Self-evolving methods reduce the need for human-annotated trajectories by allowing tool-using agents to generate their own training data. Yet existing methods typically separate trajectory generation from evaluation, relying on static verifiers that cannot adapt to emerging failure modes or self-consistency signals that may reinforce errors shared across trajectories. Jointly adapting planning, execution, and evaluation offers a promising alternative, but introduces a fundamental coordination challenge: each component continuously changes the data or feedback used to train the others. We address this challenge with \textbf{UnifiedPlayers}, a cooperative framework comprising a Planning Player that generates tasks, an Execution Player that produces multi-turn trajectories with Python tool calls, and an Evaluation Player that constructs executable verifiers. We design role-specific rewards that coordinate the three players toward a shared learning objective under GRPO. Across two model backbones and twelve reasoning benchmarks, UnifiedPlayers outperforms the strongest prior baseline by at least 3.5\% on mathematical reasoning and 3.9\% on general reasoning tasks. Moreover, the learned verifier achieves 84.2\% adversarial detection accuracy, while its reward signal exhibits 2.03$\times$ higher per-question variance than a self-consistency baseline, providing more discriminative verifications. These results highlight cooperation among specialized players as a promising path toward self-enhanced tool-integrated agents.
