LLM Agents for Automated Post-Training via Structured Recipe Optimization· 大语言模型自动后训练的结构化配方优化

Automated post-training transforms pre-trained large language models (LLMs) into models capable of handling diverse domains by automatically constructing and optimizing a recipe of coupled decisions over data sources, data processing, cross-domain composition, and training configuration under a limited experimental budget. Existing automation either searches predefined recipe spaces that enable systematic optimization but remain fixed rather than adapting their available choices to the target tasks, or uses open-ended agents that discover task-specific choices but leave them implicit in trial-level edits, limiting their systematic reuse and recombination across trials. To fill this gap, we introduce optimization over a task-adapted recipe space, a novel paradigm that can adapt the recipe s
