New API uses LLMs for universal optimization across diverse tasks

Researchers have developed a universal API called "optimize_anything" that leverages LLMs to solve a wide range of optimization problems by formulating them as text artifact improvements. This system demonstrates state-of-the-art results across diverse tasks, including significantly boosting Gemini Flash's accuracy on ARC-AGI, reducing cloud costs by 40%, and generating CUDA kernels that rival PyTorch performance. The study highlights that providing actionable side information accelerates convergence and improves final scores, while multi-task optimization benefits from cross-task transfer, suggesting text optimization is a general-purpose problem-solving paradigm.

    optimize_anything: A Universal API for Optimizing any Text Parameter

    Can a single LLM-based optimization system match specialized tools across fundamentally different domains? We show that when optimization problems are formulated as improving a text artifact evaluated by a scoring function, a single AI-based optimization system-supporting single-…
