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…

GEPA: Reflective Prompt Evolution Can Outperform Reinforcement Learning arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis
  • GEPA outperforms GRPO by 6% on average and up to 20% across six tasks, while using up to 35x fewer rollouts.
  • The same method beats leading prompt optimizer MIPROv2 by more than 10%, including a +12% accuracy gain on AIME-2025.
  • Authors argue natural-language reflection on trajectories is a richer learning signal than sparse scalar reward gradients.

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.
