arXiv:2608. 07645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving coding agents that iteratively rewrite their own source code have demonstrated impressive performance on coding tasks.
EGGROLL replaces dense Gaussian perturbations in evolution strategies with low‑rank Gaussian products, enabling practical optimization of large language models while maintaining exactness on quadratic objectives. The paper analyzes the mean update field, error bounds, and shows that rank‑one perturbations add only a small variance penalty compared to dense ES. A new leave‑one‑out estimator, LOO‑ROLL, further reduces estimator MSE and improves post‑training performance on transformer blocks and GSM8K accuracy.
