LLM-guided program evolution improves 10 best-known circle-packing solutions (Packomania csqv, N=101-114) [R]

This story is from 2026-09-07. It is preserved in the archive; the latest stories are on the live feed.

I used an LLM to iteratively evolve an optimization algorithm rather than solve the packing directly. Starting from a simple seed solver, the LLM proposes algorithmic changes guided by a scoreboard of results and a history of prior attempts, and each candidate is scored by an independent verifier s…
