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.

Cross‑model tests on four additional student models confirm ESPO’s superior average accuracy, notably improving Qwen3 GSM8K from 15.00% to 91.40%.
arXiv:2606. 21641v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as hyperparameter-optimization (HPO) advisors that "warm-start" search from prior knowledge, proposing strong configurations in very few evaluations.

RSI-Opt introduces Recursive Self-Improvement Optimizer Agents that evolve their own training policies by accumulating knowledge from previous runs, including prompts, playbooks, optimizer code, and decision cadences. A meta‑agent rewrites and archives these policies, enabling reusable procedures and code that adapt to new tasks. Across multiple generations and tasks, RSI‑Opt improves optimizer performance, achieving higher z‑scores on evolution suites, better cross‑model transfer, and significant error reductions on PDE benchmarks compared to fixed‑prompt baselines.
