In case you are unfamiliar with Karpathy's Loop[1], it is a genetic algorithm[2] where the genetic "mutations" are clever-but-random ideas generated by an LLM agent, aimed at improving a system.

  (1) Let the LLM randomly perturbate the system.
  (2) Measure the system's performance.
  (3a) If the perturbation improved performance, keep the change.
  (3b) Otherwise, don't.
  (4) Repeat
