Researchers have introduced a new paradigm called agentic Bayesian optimization (BO), which integrates large language models (LLMs) as central decision-makers within the BO loop. This approach leverages a Bayesian backend to provide an uncertainty-aware optimization substrate, allowing the LLM agent to configure problems, select evaluations, and adapt strategies through natural language. The system, instantiated as Sara with a BoTorch-based backend named lenz, has demonstrated superior performance over existing LLM-based methods and standard BO on various benchmarks, particularly in dynamic settings where it can reconfigure optimization problems on the fly.
