A new research paper challenges the notion that automated discovery systems like OpenEvolve and TTT-Discover are universally superior. The study, which involved over 3.1 million LLM rollouts, found that no single harness consistently outperformed others across various model-problem pairs. The research suggests that harness selection should be treated as a hyperparameter, tailored to specific problems and models, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. The authors also propose an adaptive allocation method that prunes weak runs and reallocates compute to stronger ones, outperforming fixed or non-adaptive ensemble approaches. AI
IMPACT Suggests that current automated discovery systems may not be optimal and highlights the need for adaptive strategies tailored to specific AI models and problems.
