Evolver
Self-evolving engine for agents built on the Genome Evolution Protocol (GEP).
Evolver is EvoMap's self-evolution engine for AI agents, based on its GEP (Genome Evolution Protocol), which records evolution as auditable Genes, Capsules and Events. EvoMap's site describes GEP as letting agents share, validate and inherit capabilities across models. A linked arXiv paper (2604.15097) argues compact 'Gene' representations beat documentation-style skill packages for accumulating experience. Released open source in Feb 2026 (MIT, then GPL-3.0); the README says future releases will move to source-available, while published versions keep their original licenses.
