We set a new record for n=11Researchers used LLMs to evolve programs, updating records for square packing including the optimal solution for n=11. The approach involved seeding primitives with Claude and conducting evolutionary search.

- Field
- applying language models
- What they did
- Researchers used a language model to perform evolutionary program search to find the minimum number of squares needed to cover a given number of unit squares.
- Why it matters
- This approach allowed them to update historical records for square packing, which were previously set by humans solving this complex geometric problem.
