Self-Play Only Evolves When Self-Synthetic Pipeline Ensures Learnable Information Gain

In three linesSelf-evolution loops in LLMs plateau when they fail to generate learnable information. This study identifies three roles (Proposer, Solver, Verifier) and three system designs (asymmetric co-evolution, capacity growth, proactive information seeking) to sustain information gain across iterations on coding tasks.
