RECAST is a new framework that generates datasets with far more constraints per example than existing benchmarks, aiming to push large language models (LLMs) to better follow complex instructions. The authors built RECAST-30K, a 30,000‑instance dataset covering 19 constraint types extracted from real prompt‑response pairs, and showed that fine‑tuning on it improves LLMs’ ability to handle complex tasks without harming general performance. RECAST also provides rule‑based and LLM‑based validators for automatic constraint verification, enabling reward‑based reinforcement learning to further enhance model performance on challenging tasks.

arXiv:2608. 02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver-ready formulations, but direct code generation is brittle: schema, indexing, and semantic errors can cause compilation failures, infeasible models, or incorrect objectives, while iterative repair, search, and multi-agent workflows increase inference cost.

The paper introduces SDDL, a neuro‑symbolic framework that converts natural‑language combinatorial scheduling problems into compact, solver‑aligned representations, delegating low‑level modeling and search to a deterministic compiler and external solver. On a 300‑instance subset of scheduling tasks, SDDL achieves higher feasibility rates for resource‑constrained language models—up to 55.3% and 28.3%—compared to direct‑generation baselines (23.7% and 1.3%) and solver‑code baselines (21.7% and 7.0%), with a median optimality gap of 0.0% among feasible schedules.
