4, introducing parallel proposal sampling via composable strategies and the ReflectionLM protocol. Users can now configure sampling_strategy= and selection_strategy= to evaluate multiple candidates per iteration, accelerating optimization of prompts, code, or agent architectures. The framework uses LLMs to analyze full execution traces—errors, logs, profiling—for targeted fixes via iterative reflection and Pareto-aware selection. Install with pip install -U gepa and integrate via DSPy or as an Agent Skill for Claude Code and similar tools.
The catch: Heavy reliance on LLM reflection increases token costs and latency, limiting viability for real-time or budget-constrained applications without careful configuration.
