AURA: Autoresearch via Reflective Adaptation for Compound AI Systems
Inspired by Karpathy's *autoresearch* direction, AURA is a sample-efficient prompt optimizer for compound AI systems: after every rollout it hands the full trace back to the LLM and asks for one named edit to its own prompt. Across multi-hop QA, instruction following, and AIME-style math, AURA matches GRPO with up to 35× fewer rollouts and beats MIPROv2 by ~10 points on aggregate.
