InvEvolve: Evolving White-Box Inventory Policies via Large Language Models with Performance Guarantees

Benyou Wang, Bo Jiang, Chenyu Huang, Jianghao Lin, Lai Wei, Ruoqing Jiang, Zhengyang Tang

InvEvolve uses large language models to evolve white-box inventory policies with statistical safety guarantees and a lower bound on success probability.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

InvEvolve evolves new policies that improve upon existing benchmarks and provides a lower bound on the probability that it evolves a statistically safe and improved policy, with outperformance shown on both synthetic data and real-world retail data.

C2weakest assumption

The unified theoretical model correctly connects training, inference, and deployment to deliver a valid lower bound on the probability of a safe improved policy and an accurate characterization of the multi-period performance gap relative to the oracle-safe benchmark.

C3one line summary

InvEvolve evolves white-box inventory policies from LLMs with statistical safety guarantees and outperforms classical and deep learning methods on synthetic and real retail data.
