Lineage Is Memory: Parent Inheritance and Feedback Disclosure in Short-Budget LLM-Guided Optimization
Iterative language-model optimizers refine prompts and programs by evaluating a candidate, showing a proposer model a sample of failing cases, and keeping revisions that improve performance. Recent work attributes the limits of this loop to narrow single-round reflection, introducing full-set error clustering, targeted minibatches, or larger proposer models so the optimizer sees more failure…
