About this paper

Chuhan Zhang, Xiangyu Chu

The authors use an LLM to propose hopper leg and rotor designs in a simulator grounded in Pro-OMEGA2. In an equal-budget 24-design search, Claude’s mean best-design score was 0.590, below Bayesian optimisation and random search, while both LLMs proposed zero designs rejected as unbuildable by the generator. No new design was physically built.
