Researchers have introduced MiniOpt, a reinforcement learning framework designed to tackle general optimization problems with limited resources. This approach decomposes optimization reasoning into structured modeling and executable solver generation. MiniOpt utilizes a novel reward function, OptReward, which evaluates both formulation and solution quality, enabling effective policy learning without requiring expert demonstrations. Experiments indicate that MiniOpt-3B, a model with fewer than 10 billion parameters, achieves superior solving accuracy across diverse optimization tasks, suggesting that this reward-driven reinforcement learning strategy is a promising path for developing compact, specialized language models.
