Researchers have developed a system called Discovery Loop that leverages large language models (LLMs) to iteratively improve optimization algorithms. This method starts with a basic solver and uses an LLM to propose modifications, which are then evaluated against a benchmark. The system successfully enhanced the best-known solutions for 10 specific instances of the Packomania circle-packing problem, achieving improvements of 2.4%-5.4% within 15 iterations and at a low LLM cost of $27.72. This approach demonstrates a potential for democratizing automated scientific discovery. AI
