Optimize Cheap, Deploy Strong: Cost-Aware Cross-Tier Transfer for Evolutionary Optimization
arXiv:2608.10694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evolutionary optimization of LLM prompts and agentic programs (e.g., GEPA) is dominated by fitness evaluation: scoring each candidate runs an answering LLM over a validation set, so the evaluator's price tier dictates total search cost. We restructure that search by dec
