I was working some time ago on LLM assisted optimizations and algorithm discovery and this does not look like a novel idea.
AlphaEvolve from google is evolutionary algorithm which uses LLMs for Idea generation following very similar loop:

- riedel 5mo agoJust because it is a nice meme I want to throw in Schmidhuber's work on (do not treat this comment as serious except you are Schmidhuber himself): * Gödel Machine (2006-2007) [1] * Optimal Ordered Problem Solver (2002) [2] * Meta-Learning and Artificial Curiosity (1990s onward) [3] [1] https://arxiv.org/html/2505.22954v3 https://arxiv.org/html/2505.22954v3 [2] https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0207097 https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0207097 [3] https://evolution.ml/pdf/schmidhuber.pdf https://evolution.ml/pdf/schmidhuber.pdf Edit: markdown formatting
- fesens 5mo agoNice references! tks
- zby 5mo agoIt is not novel - but with the new models it is just becoming practical.
