The paper introduces LLM-EBG, an evolutionary framework that uses a large language model as a generative operator to automatically create optimization benchmarks. By generating unconstrained single-objective continuous minimization problems expressed as mathematical formulas, the framework can produce benchmarks that consistently favor a target algorithm over a comparison algorithm in over 80% of trials. Landscape analysis shows that these generated problems exhibit distinct geometric traits, such as sensitivity to variable scaling, reflecting the search behaviors of different optimization methods.
