Reflective Prompt Optimization of a Deep-Research Agent: A Topic-Disjoint, Multi-Seed Protocol for Measuring Transferable Gains and Prompt-Level Overfitting
Publisher summary· verbatim
arXiv:2610.12601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prompt optimization is an attractive alternative to reinforcement learning for adapting language-model agents, since it is cheap and produces human-readable artifacts. On factual tasks, however, it carries a failure mode that scalar-reward reinforcemen
