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.

MAPLE is a new agent that maintains and updates optimization problems through successive natural‑language requests, combining language‑based problem construction with mathematical programming and evolutionary search. It preserves the optimization program, accepted plans, earlier updates, and candidate solutions for future requests, enabling rapid adaptation to changing business constraints. In a benchmark of 15 trajectories and 180 updates across various operational domains, MAPLE completed all trajectories with high online scalar quality and Pareto hypervolume ratio, and maintained update validity and useful search information across substantial revisions.

arXiv:2608. 12522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based program evolution systems such as FunSearch and AlphaEvolve have shown strong ability to discover novel algorithms, but typically optimize each task in isolation, discarding search experience after completion.
