Very interesting analysis. It would be great to see the LP comeback and optimize. I always have the impression that we have settled to suboptimal solutions in many areas just because we have become too attached to LLMs, wary of numerical analysis.

Reminds me of the time someone showed you could get as good results from linear regression as the more expensive SVM, like this: https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/file/26d4b4313a7e5...
