Self-Scaffolding LLMs

Self-scaffolding LLMs learn task-specific scaffolds or harnesses alongside solution rollouts. Ornith-1.0 frames the scaffold as a learnable object co-evolving with the policy for agentic coding tasks, with safeguards against reward hacking [src-182].

Robin Cartier perspective

This page is part of Robin Cartier's working AI knowledge graph: a practical research layer for production AI, recommendation systems, experimentation, GEO, and agentic web readiness.

The useful next step is to connect this concept back to applied product leadership and operating models.
