COMPAS: Difficulty-Aware Joint Search for Optimizing Code Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.04336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Code generation systems make each LLM call with a model, a prompt, and decoding settings. However, existing optimization methods usually tune only part of these choices or use one fixed configuration for all tasks: global optimizers search one configuration for all tasks, routers choose only a model, and prompt optimizers keep the model and decoding settings fixed. This leaves their joint, group-specific interactions unclear. We therefore examine how these choices interact and observe that prompts and decoding settings interact, tuning effects
