OpenEvolve underperforms simple automated discovery in AI research

A controlled study involving over 3 million rollouts revealed that OpenEvolve's performance is significantly lower than simple automated discovery methods. The effectiveness of different approaches varied depending on the specific model and problem pair being addressed. The research utilized repeated budget-matched runs and statistical hypothesis testing to compare various methods. AI

IMPACT Suggests that simpler automated discovery methods may be more effective than OpenEvolve for certain AI tasks.
