Title: Understanding the Challenges in Iterative Generative Optimization with LLMs
Abstract:
arXiv:2603.23994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative optimization uses large language models (LLMs) to iteratively improve artifacts (such as code, workflows or prompts) using execution feedback. It is a promising approach to building self-improving agents, yet in practice remains brittle: despite active research, only 9% of surveyed agents used any automated optimization. We argue that this brittleness arises because, to set up a learning loop, an engineer must make ``hidden'' design ch
