arXiv:2608. 17947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can generate executable programs, which makes it possible to search directly over procedural content generators rather than individual levels.

arXiv:2607. 00062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High pass rates on established programming benchmarks such as HumanEval and LiveCodeBench do not always show whether a model can reason about algorithms.

arXiv:2505. 03818v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) can achieve strong performance on everyday coding tasks, but they can fail on complex tasks that require non-trivial reasoning about program semantics.

Successful mutation strategies in evolutionary code search may contain reusable knowledge that is useful beyond a single run, and in some cases may transfer across related tasks and domains. However, existing LLM-driven evolutionary frameworks largely discard such knowledge, repeatedly rediscovering similar ideas and limiting opportunities for cross-run and cross-task learning.
arXiv:2606. 15834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The computer systems community has recently seen growing interest in AI-driven system evolution, where AI agents iteratively rewrite systems.

arXiv:2606. 26173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work shows that Large Language Models (LLMs) can act as semantic mutation operators for the evolutionary discovery of programs and proofs.

arXiv:2606. 01286v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid progress of frontier large language models has led to widespread benchmark saturation, limiting the ability of existing datasets to differentiate model capabilities or provide useful training signal.

arXiv:2509. 21629v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Program verification relies on loop invariants, yet automatically discovering strong invariants remains a long-standing challenge.

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.
