COMPAS: Difficulty-Aware Joint Search for Optimizing Code Generation
arXiv:2608. 04336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Code generation systems make each LLM call with a model, a prompt, and decoding settings.
arXiv:2606. 19605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-step LLM pipelines fail through interactions among retrieval, reasoning, and formatting steps, so prompt-only optimization can miss bottlenecks in the chain.

arXiv:2606. 11459v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models are highly sensitive to prompt formulation, necessitating automatic prompt optimization to unlock their full potential.
arXiv:2608. 10471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prompt optimizers automate the search for prompts that improve language-model performance, but existing methods rely on a predefined optimization procedure: the algorithm determines which candidates to explore and how the search progresses, while the language model generates or refines prompt proposals.
arXiv:2607. 06764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress on ARC-AGI-1 from disclosed architectures has come broadly from two regimes: heavy test-time compute over frontier models (evolutionary search, exhaustive sampling, extended chain-of-thought), or benchmark-specific training in which small models are fine-tuned on ARC data, often with task-specialized architectures.
arXiv:2604. 05150v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study compiled AI, a paradigm in which large language models generate executable code artifacts during a compilation phase, after which workflows execute deterministically without further model invocation.
arXiv:2608.22014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated prompt and skill optimization typically produces a single static instruction that is reused across inference instances until the next optimiz...
MoMHa is a system that optimizes large language model harnesses across three objectives—accuracy, behavioural safety, and token cost—using a single‑phase joint‑reward proposer. It outperforms alternative strategies on seventeen domains, including synthetic suites and real‑world benchmarks, achieving higher joint scores and better safety while reducing token usage. The approach demonstrates that multi‑objective harness design can transfer effectively to unseen models and tasks.
arXiv:2608. 16187v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI-assisted development tools generate vulnerable code at significant rates, yet few automated mechanisms exist to detect, enrich, fix, and verify security issues at development velocity, particularly ones that ground remediation in real-world threat context.
arXiv:2603. 23420v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: If autoresearch is itself a form of research, then autoresearch can be applied to research itself.
ESPO (Error-Structured Prompt Optimization) addresses prompt bloat in evolutionary prompt optimizers by splitting the optimization process into Diagnose, Propose, and Select phases. It clusters training errors into structural patterns, generates diverse candidate prompts through four complementary strategies, and applies bootstrap stability selection. Across seven NLP benchmarks, ESPO improves average accuracy by +3.76 pp over GEPA, produces prompts 47 % shorter, and achieves higher accuracy on four additional student models, with the largest gain on Qwen3 GSM8K.
arXiv:2609.06229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vulnerability discovery is becoming an important ability of large language model (LLM) agents: agents that silently miss real defects leave critical...
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.
