摘要
Self-evolving agents accumulate experience from task streams, but existing frameworks typically rely on fixed pipelines to retrieve and utilize this experience, neglecting when and how to deploy it. We introduce Online Meta-Control of Experience (OMCE), a framework that updates experience memory and learns a meta-control policy from task feedback during test-time adaptation. OMCE employs a lightweight contextual-bandit meta-controller that uses compact retrieval signals to select among four cognitive actions: DIRECT, EPISODE, GUIDE, and DISTILL. This routing mechanism operationalizes three coupled decisions: whether to invoke experience, which memory format to utilize, and when to consolidate new guidance. OMCE evolves online, leveraging task feedback to update the memory bank and refine the routing policy via contextual bandit updates. Experiments on four online adaptation benchmarks across four backbones show that OMCE improves first-attempt success by up to 20.5 percentage points over the strongest compared baseline, while reducing per-task token use by a factor of 5.7 to 62.5 relative to ACE with GPT-5.2. Controlled ablations further support the benefits of learned routing and continued routing policy adaptation.
