There is a fair amount of academic research on this topic. Eg, MLGO[1], but I don't know of any being used for production work.

Thanks for the link, I've seen statistical models used in computer architecture e.g. branch predictors, so I figured it might translate to compilers as well.

Excited to learn more when I take a compiler course next year, as compilers are the most "dark magic" part of software to me.
