RLM Code v0.1.11
This release brings the harness-generalization ideas from Alex Zhang’s July 2026 RLM post into RLM Code, alongside a maintained version of our AI Engineer World’s Fair 2026 demo.
Highlights
- Added reusable repository-context construction with bounded, ranked evidence.
- Added
reference,repo_evidence, andlidRLM execution profiles. - Added configurable root observations: raw, metadata-only, opaque, or explicit.
- Added structural and offloaded history modes for longer trajectories.
- Added decomposition guidance and bounded subcall tracing.
- Added trajectory-similarity metrics based on edit distance and trigram overlap.
- Preserved explicitly supplied benchmark context instead of replacing it.
- Added task-family, domain, split, expected-answer, and context-length benchmark metadata.
- Improved runner metrics with prompt sizes, hashes, structural actions, and subcall counts.
New demos
Harness Generalization Demo
examples/july_harness_generalization/
An API-free, deterministic demo showing that the same RLM harness can generalize from a small commerce task to an eight-times-larger support task while:
- keeping private context out of the root prompt;
- decomposing work through bounded subcalls;
- retaining compact subcall traces;
- offloading growing history;
- preserving structurally similar trajectories;
- producing the correct final answers.
Run it with:
uv run --frozen python examples/july_harness_generalization/demo.py
#### AI Engineer World’s Fair 2026 Demo
examples/aie_world_fair_2026/
A maintained version of the live RLM probe from our San Francisco conference talk, updated for the
current RLM Code APIs.
It includes:
- an Ollama-ready local demo;
- Gemini configuration instructions;
- current repository-evidence construction;
- Docker-first sandboxing;
- prompts and suggested presentation use cases.
Run it with:
uv run --frozen python examples/aie_world_fair_2026/rlm_probe.py
The complete presentation and original conference materials remain available in the AI Engineer World’s
Fair talk repository (https://github.com/Shashikant86/rlm-codebase-aie-wf26-talk).
### Additional improvements
- Added CLI and configuration support for context, observation, history, decomposition, and execution
profiles.
- Expanded environment and configuration documentation.
- Included examples in source distributions.
- Corrected the RLM paper reference.
- Updated package metadata and documentation for v0.1.11.
