An important Bottleneck in LLM Optimizers: Principle-Level Local Optima

Nian Ran, Tianhe Jia, Zhengyang Mu +6

Feedback-driven LLM optimizers are increasingly used for evolutionary search, Bayesian optimization, heuristic design, and scientific discovery. Yet rapid initial gains often give…

LabOPBench: A Multimodal Benchmark for Evidence-Grounded Laboratory Decision Making

Jingyuan Li, Yujie Liu, Yijie Dai +18

Laboratory experiments involve more than following predefined protocols; they require adaptive decision-making as the experimental state changes. Existing scientific benchmarks rar…

WMLLM: Self-Evolving Optimization Agents via Predict-Then-Act World Modeling

Zhongzheng Li, Qingsong Ran, Shikun Feng +5

Black-box optimization problems remain challenging because of large, weakly structured, and high-dimensional search spaces. Existing methods often suffer from poor sample efficienc…
