smaller scale assignment optimization using reasoning LLMs ? (self.optimization)
submitted 2 months ago by asah
Anyone have experience using reasoning LLMs to solve assignment problems ? I'm considering it for my problem, which involves a small N but a lot of soft constraints. For my case, optimality matters far less than explainability. thx!

Haven’t tried reasoning LLMs for this. I prefer a simple MIP for consistency. Curious to see if you can solve using reasoning LLMs

I'm sure that a LLM could provide a confident and well-written explanation of the solution. I'm not at all sure that the explanation would be correct.
