Key points

  • It argues that continual learning used to mean only parameter updates, but now it should also include elements outside the model, such as memory, skills, and protocols.
  • It proposes a three-axis framework, When, Where, and How, so that dozens of existing methods can be compared on a single map.
  • It summarizes that on-policy learning, where the model learns from its own experience, is better than off-policy methods for reducing forgetting.
  • It analyzes verifiable reward as the key bridge that lets agents improve themselves without human help.
  • It separates areas where research is dense from areas that are nearly empty, pointing out that system-level integrated learning is the main challenge ahead.
