Excited to announce this interesting paper: Prompt optimization that uses verbal feedback and reflection. Outperforms all previous prompt optimizers and is much faster than RL GRPO.

How does prompt optimization compare to RL algos like GRPO? GRPO needs 1000s of rollouts, but humans can learn from a few trials—by reflecting on what worked & what didn't. Meet GEPA: a reflective prompt optimizer that can outperform GRPO by up to 20% with 35x fewer rollouts!🧵
