arXiv:2610.12794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-guided evolutionary optimization has successfully improved prompts, programs, and even entire AI systems. Most optimization methods select a candidate from the search frontier, then mutate it in one LLM pass based only on its failures. This focus on the frontier can stall on production AI systems, where isolated failures reveal little about complex, hidden interactions. We introduce CoCoEvolve (Cortex Code Evolve), an evolutionary optimizer built around what we call meta-reflection, wherein an agentic mutator (Cortex
