GEPA: Reflective Prompt Evolution Can Outperform Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2026oral

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adapted to downstream tasks via reinforcement learning (RL) methods like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), which often require thousands of rollouts to learn new tasks. We argue that the interpretable nature of language often provides a much ric…

Large Language Models are Built-in Autoregressive Search Engines

ACL 2023findings

Document retrieval is a key stage of standard Web search engines. Existing dual-encoder dense retrievers obtain representations for questions and documents independently, allowing for only shallow interactions between them. To overcome this limitation, recent autoregressive search engines replace th…
