Puzzle Generator Rejects 99.7% of Outputs, Proving Generator-Verifier Split
A Go CLI that generates cryptarithmetic puzzles achieves a 0.26% acceptance rate, demonstrating the power of separating generation from verification.
●Builder Action:Developers should consider separating generation and verification tasks. For LLM-driven code generation, focus on building robust automated testing and linting pipelines as the primary "verifier," rather than solely optimizing LLM prompts. This allows for faster iteration and leverages the LLM's breadth while ensuring correctness through automated checks.
