AutoOR is a scalable synthetic data generation and reinforcement learning pipeline that trains large language models to autoformalize operations research problems expressed in natural language across linear, mixed‑integer, and non‑linear categories. By generating verified training data from standard optimization forms and using solver execution feedback as a reward signal, AutoOR enables post‑training of an 8B model to achieve state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results on six established OR benchmarks, matching significantly larger frontier models. For non‑linear problems involving physical dynamics, a curriculum RL strategy bootstraps from limited initial data, making this class tractable for post‑training.

The paper introduces Reinforcement Learning Enhanced LLM Agents (RLEA), a multi‑agent framework that automates the modeling of complex Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs). RLEA employs a lightweight neural Planner trained with Soft Q‑learning to coordinate LLM‑based agents, and incorporates an evolutionary memory module and retrieval‑augmented generation to leverage experience and external solver knowledge. Experiments on 48 VRP variants show that RLEA outperforms the prior state‑of‑the‑art method, achieving a 16.67% higher success rate and significantly reducing runtime errors.
