OpenAI researchers have introduced Evolution through Large Models (ELM), a novel approach that leverages large language models (LLMs) trained on code to enhance genetic programming. This method uses LLMs to generate effective mutation operators for programs, enabling the creation of numerous functional examples in previously unseen domains. The research demonstrates ELM's potential to bootstrap new conditional language models capable of generating context-appropriate outputs, with implications for open-endedness, deep learning, and reinforcement learning.
