arXiv:2607. 23676v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based automated heuristic design (AHD) typically scores executable programs on complete instances or within fixed solver components.
arXiv:2608. 07544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated heuristic design (AHD) with large language models (LLMs) has produced strong heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems (COPs).
arXiv:2602. 23092v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), a fundamental combinatorial optimization challenge, focuses on optimizing fleet operations under vehicle capacity constraints.
arXiv:2506. 02594v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to synthesize heuristic programs, yet most existing pipelines optimize solvers against fixed benchmark distributions.
arXiv:2608. 04804v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier language models can resolve repository-level software issues, but each attempt is expensive, and existing routers select a model from the issue text alone.
arXiv:2607. 11399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model agents are increasingly executed not by a single model call, but by an execution harness that manages observation, context, control, action, state, and verification.
arXiv:2608. 14065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: Software bugs remain a critical challenge in development, necessitating effective Automated Program Repair (APR) techniques.
arXiv:2607. 18859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Large Language Models have greatly advanced automated issue resolution, existing agent-based methods exhibit a fundamental limitation in their insufficient exploration of repair strategies.
arXiv:2608. 00106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems must decide not only what answer to produce, but which reasoning and execution operations should precede it.
arXiv:2602. 07216v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) trains fast heuristics for routing problems, but planners often need more than a single solve: they ask which stop to drop, which transition to preserve, or which subset of stops to remove if a route is infeasible.
arXiv:2606. 09886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models achieve strong quality with low per-token compute, yet their deployment is often limited by the memory wall: the full expert pool must remain resident to support token-dependent routing.
arXiv:2605. 08756v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Automatic heuristic design (AHD) has emerged as a promising paradigm for solving NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems (COPs).
Recent systems for optimizing prompts, programs, and ML workflows typically rely on explicit outer-loop controllers such as evolutionary search, bandits, or textual-gradient methods. We ask a fundamentally different question: how much of this search policy can be internalized by a single tool-using agent?
