LLM-generated combinatorial solvers achieve highest correctness when the model formalizes problems for verified backends rather than attempting to optimize search, which often causes regressions.

ORPilot is the first agentic LLM system built specifically for production optimization modeling, using interview, data collection, parameter computation agents and a solver-agnostic intermediate representation to handle real-world ambiguous problems and large raw datasets.
OPT-Engine shows pure-text chain-of-thought reasoning in LLMs loses robustness as optimization complexity grows, external tools fix only local arithmetic, and solver-integrated methods are bottlenecked by automated constraint formulation.
Graph-grounded optimization sources problem elements from knowledge graphs and shows Rao-family metaheuristics plus OR-tools perform differently across seven real-world KG-backed problems while surfacing data issues.
HMACE deploys Proposer, Generator, Evaluator, and Reflector agents in an evolutionary loop to generate and refine heuristics for NP-hard problems, reporting lower optimality gaps and token costs than baselines on TSP and Online BPP.
