Can LLMs invent better ways to train LLMs?
--> Summary At Sakana AI, we harness nature-inspired ideas such as evolutionary optimization to develop cutting-edge foundation models. The development of deep learning has historically relied on extensive trial-and-error by AI researchers and their theoretical insights. This is especially true for preference optimization algorithms, which are crucial for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human preferences. Meanwhile, LLMs themselves have grown increasingly capable of generating hypotheses and writing code. This raises an intriguing question: can we leverage AI to automate the process
