用双向进化搜索提升语言模型自我优化能力，突破传统方法局限。

Search has been proposed as an effective method for self-improving language models and agentic systems, both for post-training sample generation and for inference. However, widely used methods such as best-of-N sampling and tree search face two fundamental limitations: they are guided by sparse verification signals, and they construct candidates primarily through autoregressive expansion, restricting exploration to regions with substantial model probability mass. To address these, we propose Bidirectional Evolutionary Search (BES), a search framework that couples forward candidate evolution with backward goal decomposition. In the forward search, BES augments standard expansion with evolution operators that recombine partial trajectories to generate candidates that are difficult to obtain from a single model rollout. In the backward search, BES recursively decomposes the original task into checkable subgoals, producing dense intermediate feedback that guides forward search. We provide theoretical motivation showing that candidates generated by expansion-only search are confined to a narrow entropy shell while evolutionary operators can escape it, and that backward search can exponentially reduce the number of required samples to find a correct answer. Experiments show that on challenging post-training tasks where mainstream post-training algorithms fail to improve, BES enables consistent gains, and on three open problem solving benchmarks at inference time, BES outperforms existing open-source frameworks in both average and best-case performance.
