[r/ML] [P] LLM with a 9-line seed + 5 rounds of contrastive feedback outperforms Optuna on 96% of benchmarks

Summary

A new LLM approach, developed with a minimal 9-line seed and just five rounds of contrastive feedback, has demonstrated superior performance. It reportedly outperforms Optuna, a leading hyperparameter optimization framework, on 96% of tested benchmarks. This suggests a highly efficient and effective method for developing or fine-tuning LLMs.
