Component-Aware Feedback for Self-Evolving Programs
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-guided evolutionary search can discover complex programs, but existing methods mostly only save candidate programs and fitness scores while discarding which component edits produced which fitness metric changes. Existing methods force the mutator LLM to infer the effect of prior edits from cluttered histories, making program search slow and unstable. This is especially true for locally servable LLMs to evolve multi-component systems. We introduce component-aware feedback, which compares each evaluated program with its parent, identifies the c
