arXiv:2602. 10233v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-guided evolutionary computation, most notably AlphaEvolve, has been remarkably successful in discovering novel mathematical constructions by solving challenging optimization problems.
The paper introduces ARTEMIS, a no-code evolutionary optimization platform that automatically tunes large language model (LLM) agents by jointly optimizing prompts, tool descriptions, and parameters using semantically-aware genetic operators. Starting from a benchmark script and natural language goals, ARTEMIS discovers configurable components, extracts performance signals from execution logs, and evolves configurations without architectural changes. Experiments on four agent systems show significant gains: a 13.6% increase in acceptance rate for the ALE Agent, a 10.1% performance boost for the Mini‑SWE Agent, a 36.9% token‑reduction for the CrewAI Agent, and a 22% accuracy improvement for the MathTales‑Teacher Agent using a smaller open‑source model.
arXiv:2511. 22651v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimization methods have long advanced many fields, yet they struggle when faced with design problems where the search space and design parameters are difficult to define.

arXiv:2605. 25246v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for optimization modeling and solver-code generation, yet practical operations research and optimization problems often require a harder capability: designing scalable algorithms that exploit problem structure and outperform direct formulation-and-solve baselines.
