Researchers have developed an autonomous system that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate and optimize disease forecasting software. This LLM-guided tree search approach iteratively creates, evaluates, and refines executable forecasting models. During the 2025-2026 respiratory season, the system autonomously produced diverse models for influenza, COVID-19, and RSV, with the aggregated ensemble matching or surpassing the CDC's human-curated forecasts. The framework aims to overcome the bottleneck of manual model curation, enabling scalable and rapid deployment of expert-level disease forecasting. AI
IMPACT Automates the creation of expert-level disease forecasting models, enabling rapid deployment at unprecedented scales.
