$\Phi$-Bench: Can Large Language Models Engineer the Infrastructure That Powers Them?

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.10226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in reasoning and code generation, raising the prospect that they could assist in developing and optimizing the very infrastructure that powers them. However, existing benchmarks mainly focus on isolated kernels, predefined operators, or pre-specified optimization targets, and therefore fail to evaluate the ability of LLMs to perform open-ended, long-horizon LLM infrastructure engineering. To address this gap, we present $\Phi$-Bench, a benchmark for systematically evaluating LLMs on engineering the LLM infrastructure stack. Derived from optimization problems studied in frontier research and grounded in real-world code repositories, $\Phi$-Bench provides broad coverage of t
