arXiv:2602. 15983v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural language into optimization code, but silent failures pose a critical risk: code that executes and returns solver-feasible solutions may encode semantically incorrect formulations---a feasibility--correctness gap reaching 90 percentage points on compositional problems.

The paper evaluates how robust large language models are at generating SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) when the underlying RTL code undergoes semantics‑preserving transformations such as operand reordering, identifier renaming, and redundant parenthesization. Using a curated dataset and two open‑source models (Qwen2.5‑Coder‑7B and DeepSeek‑Coder‑V2‑Lite), the authors find that 9.7%–27.0% of behaviors that were correct on the original RTL become incorrect after transformation, revealing significant instability that aggregate accuracy metrics can hide.

RECAST is a new framework that generates datasets with far more constraints per example than existing benchmarks, aiming to push large language models (LLMs) to better follow complex instructions. The authors built RECAST-30K, a 30,000‑instance dataset covering 19 constraint types extracted from real prompt‑response pairs, and showed that fine‑tuning on it improves LLMs’ ability to handle complex tasks without harming general performance. RECAST also provides rule‑based and LLM‑based validators for automatic constraint verification, enabling reward‑based reinforcement learning to further enhance model performance on challenging tasks.

Detecting Inconsistencies in Model Specifications with LLM-as-Verifier Reasoning introduces VeriSpec, a method that audits natural‑language model specifications directly using an LLM as a verifier. VeriSpec extracts structured rules, builds a topic‑guided graph to cluster related rules, and applies LLM‑based reasoning to find inconsistencies. In a case study on the OpenAI Model Spec, it identified 405 rules, validated five inconsistencies, and outperformed five baselines with the highest precision and lowest cost per validated inconsistency.
