New research from OpenAI (senior author Ken Stanley is a good friend from grad school days) shows how evolutionary computation can be used to fine tune large language models and help them explore uncharted territories.

Quote:

  1. The ELM method for efficiently evolving programs through LLMs.

  2. A technique for improving ELM’s ability to search over time by fine-tuning its LLM-based mutation operator.

  3. A demonstration of ELM in a domain not included in the training data of the LLM.

  4. Validation that data generated through ELM can bootstrap enhanced LLMs that offer a novel path towards open-endedness.
