Hi Julian: I totally agree that vast body of literature on evolutionary optimization is relevant; in fact GEPA (arxiv.org/abs/2507.19457) and AlphaEvolve (arxiv.org/abs/2506.13131) are instances of evolutionary optimization. To me, the biggest open question though is that of g…

Recent commentary
While everyone is focused on the safety risks exposed by the OpenAI/HF breach, the incident also highlights an equally important but less understood issue. Even in the non-adversarial case, unlike classical ML, we have no idea how to measure/prevent overoptimization when building agentic harnesses.
