- Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for tackling complex Operations Research (OR) problem by providing the capacity in automating optimization modeling. However, current methodologies heavily rely on prompt engineering (e.g., multi-agent cooperation) with proprietary LLMs, raising data privacy concerns that could be prohibitive in industry applications. To tackle this issue, we propose training open-source LLMs for optimization modeling. We identify four critical requirements for the training dataset of OR LLMs, design and implement OR-Instruct, a semi-automated process for creating synthetic data tailored to specific requirements. We also introduce the IndustryOR benchmark, the first industrial benchmark for testing LLMs on solving real-world OR problems. We apply the data from OR-Instruct to various open-source LLMs of 7b size (termed as ORLMs), resulting in a significantly improved capability for optimization modeling. Our best-performing ORLM achieves state-of-the-art performance on the NL4OPT, MAMO, and IndustryOR benchmarks. Our code and data are available at \url{https://github.com/Cardinal-Operations/ORLM}.

We conduct a study to uncover the actual mechanism of LLM-based Prompt Optimization.
Our findings reveal that the LLMs struggle to identify the true causes of errors during reflection, tending to be biased by their own prior knowledge.
We introduce a new "Automatic Behavior Optimization" paradigm, which directly optimize the target model's behavior in a more controllable manner.

We tackle the problem of leveraging training data to improve the performance of large language models (LLMs) without fine-tuning.
We create a pool of candidates from the LLM through few-shot prompting and we employ a compact model, the LM-corrector (LMCor), specifically trained to merge these candidates to produce an enhanced output.
Experiments on four natural language generation tasks demonstrate that even a small LMCor model (250M) substantially improves the few-shot performance of LLMs (62B), matching and even outperforming standard fine-tuning.

We tackle the compression of LLMs within the bound of two constraints: being task-agnostic and minimizing the reliance on the original training dataset.
Our method, named LLM-Pruner, adopts structural pruning that selectively removes non-critical coupled structures.
