# K-Module Problem Configuration for OpenEvolve # Demonstrates evolutionary search vs iterative refinement # # This configuration uses the same model (gemini-2.5-flash) as the # iterative agent for fair comparison. max_iterations: 50 checkpoint_interval: 10 log_level: "INFO" random_seed: 123 # Full rewrite mode - the problem is about finding the right configuration diff_based_evolution: false max_code_length: 10000 # LLM Configuration - using lightweight model for cost efficiency llm: api_base: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1" models: - name: "google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite" weight: 1.0 temperature: 0.9 # Higher temperature for more exploration top_p: 0.98 max_tokens: 4096 timeout: 60 retries: 3 # Prompt Configuration prompt: system_message: | You are optimizing a data processing pipeline configuration through EXPLORATION. The pipeline has 4 independent modules, each with 5 possible options: - loader: ['csv_reader', 'json_reader', 'xml_reader', 'parquet_reader', 'sql_reader'] - preprocess: ['normalize', 'standardize', 'minmax', 'scale', 'none'] - algorithm: ['quicksort', 'mergesort', 'heapsort', 'bubblesort', 'insertion'] - formatter: ['json', 'xml', 'csv', 'yaml', 'protobuf'] CRITICAL: The score tells you how many modules are correct (0-4), but NOT which ones. This means when you have 3/4 correct, ANY of the 4 modules could be wrong! STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS: 1. When stuck at a score, try DIFFERENT options for EACH module systematically 2. Don't assume any module is definitely correct - even ones that seem obvious 3. Combine successful elements from different high-scoring configurations 4. If multiple configs have the same score, they may have DIFFERENT correct modules Your goal: Find the configuration with 4/4 modules correct. num_top_programs: 5 # More examples to learn from num_diverse_programs: 3 # More diversity in examples include_artifacts: true max_artifact_bytes: 10240 # Database Configuration - KEY FOR EVOLUTIONARY CROSSOVER database: population_size: 25 # Larger population for more diversity archive_size: 15 num_islands: 5 # More islands for parallel exploration # Selection parameters - maximize exploration for combinatorial problem elite_selection_ratio: 0.15 exploration_ratio: 0.6 # Very high exploration exploitation_ratio: 0.25 # Feature dimensions - use built-in features feature_dimensions: ["complexity", "diversity"] feature_bins: 5 # Frequent migration helps combine good building blocks across islands migration_interval: 3 # More frequent migration migration_rate: 0.3 # Higher migration rate # Evaluator Configuration evaluator: timeout: 30 max_retries: 2 cascade_evaluation: false # Simple evaluation, no cascade needed parallel_evaluations: 4 use_llm_feedback: false enable_artifacts: true # Early stopping - disabled to allow full exploration early_stopping_patience: 100 # Allow full run convergence_threshold: 0.001 early_stopping_metric: "combined_score"
