arXiv:2607. 18256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimization modeling is the process of translating real-world decision problems, often described in natural language, into formal mathematical formulations and executable solver code.

arXiv:2608. 02712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel generation for hardware accelerators such as GPUs and NPUs has become a proving ground for large language models (LLMs), and state-of-the-art systems raise correctness through pipelines that couple LLMs with agentic reinforcement learning and evolutionary search.

arXiv:2608. 07040v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) requires not only efficient algorithms but also carefully crafted formulations.

arXiv:2608. 08127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The runtime of Constraint Programming (CP) solvers is highly sensitive to modeling choices, such as symmetry breaking, implied constraints, global constraints, constraint reformulation, and variable representation.

arXiv:2608. 02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver-ready formulations, but direct code generation is brittle: schema, indexing, and semantic errors can cause compilation failures, infeasible models, or incorrect objectives, while iterative repair, search, and multi-agent workflows increase inference cost.

arXiv:2606. 25832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Achieving strong optimization generalization across diverse optimization problems while requiring limited training resources remains a challenging problem for optimization-oriented large language models (LLMs).

arXiv:2606. 09930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The boundary between program execution and gradient-based optimization has long limited the use of code itself as a learnable scientific model.
By Lucas Sheneman
arXiv:2607. 03574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI systems increasingly propose executable scientific models whose value depends on both their symbolic structure and their fitted continuous parameters.
By Lucas Sheneman
arXiv:2607. 16632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hardware engineering exposes coding agents to a form of long-horizon work that is difficult to capture with pass-at-k: progress is continuous, tool feedback is delayed and heterogeneous, and a backend failure may require revising RTL rather than tuning another physical-design parameter.

arXiv:2607. 28947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to solve complex problems by searching over program space, offering a general paradigm for scientific problems that can be naturally represented and solved as programs.
