Zhening Li and colleagues introduce JAZ, an LLM agent framework designed to minimize the complexity of agent loops by treating them as a programming language primitive called `invoke`. Instead of relying on external specialized systems for memory or self-improvement, JAZ enables agents to achieve these capabilities through code execution where all interactions are treated as variables within the environment. This minimalist approach allows highly expressive workflows, such as long-horizon recall and continual self-improvement, using only prompting rather than manually designed tools or complex architectures.
- The `invoke` primitive allows for recursive calls, enabling LLMs to write arbitrary executable code that includes further iterations of itself.
- In testing on the StuLife dataset, JAZ outperformed MemGPT (Letta) by 8% in recall performance while costing half as much.
- On self-improvement tasks using AppWorld, JAZ demonstrated a 4% improvement over ACE at a lower computational cost.

yoagent is a simple, effective agent loop with tool execution and event streaming in Rust. Inspired by pi-agent-core. It features a stateful agent, multi-provider support, built-in tools, and context management.
