AHD Agent trains a 4B-parameter LLM via agentic RL to actively use tools for automatic heuristic design, matching or exceeding larger baselines across eight domains with fewer evaluations.
A knowledge-first approach to LLM-driven automatic heuristic design in combinatorial optimization yields better discovery efficiency, transfer, and generalization than code-centric baselines by formalizing a distortion-compression trade-off.
k-server-bench formulates potential-function discovery for the k-server conjecture as a code-based inequality-satisfaction task; current agents fully solve the resolved k=3 case and reduce violations on the open k=4 case.
TTT-Discover applies test-time RL to set new state-of-the-art results on math inequalities, GPU kernels, algorithm contests, and single-cell denoising using an open model and public code.
AlphaEvolve is an LLM-orchestrated evolutionary coding agent that discovered a 4x4 complex matrix multiplication algorithm using 48 scalar multiplications, the first improvement over Strassen's algorithm in 56 years, plus optimizations for Google data centers and hardware.
GrandCode is the first AI system to consistently beat all human participants and place first in live Codeforces competitive programming contests.
RL4RLA is a reinforcement learning framework that discovers interpretable symbolic randomized linear algebra algorithms by combining curriculum learning and graph-based search to overcome sparse rewards and large search spaces.
Lark is a biologically inspired neuroevolution framework for multi-stakeholder LLM agents that iteratively generates, refines, and selects strategies using plasticity, duplication/maturation, influence-weighted Borda scoring, and token penalties, achieving top-3 performance in 80% of 30-round trials
