Think in Strategies, Act with Tools: Traceable Agentic Optimization for Combinatorial Problems

arXiv:2610.14736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimization by PROmpting (OPRO) directly leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate candidate solutions through natural-language prompting. However, OPRO's optimization process is difficult to track, which prevents LLMs from capturing useful information accumulated over previous iterations, thereby limiting solution quality. To address this limitation, we propose a Tool-Augmented Strategic Agent (TASA) which summarizes and exploits trajectory to improve solution quality. Specifically, TASA plans the strategy for each step based on the op
