Structure from Reasoning, Numbers from Search: On-Premise Open LLMs as Structural Priors for Coupled MIMO Controller Tuning
arXiv:2606.11015v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tuning controllers for strongly coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) industrial processes is hard: decentralized classical auto-tuning ignores loop interaction, and local numerical optimization from natural initializations stalls in the resulting non-convex cost landscape. We ask whether on-premise open-source large language models (LLMs), which keep data on-site and need no plant model, can help. On a single-loop CSTR, classical relay-feedback tuning (IAE 0.106, near the 0.102 optimum) beats an LLM tuner (0.162): for simple loops the LLM adds
The proliferation of open-source LLMs aligns with the growing demand for on-premise compute and data processing, setting the stage for industrial applications.
This research highlights the potential for LLMs to enhance industrial control systems, offering a path to improved efficiency and automation for complex processes.
The traditional approach to tuning industrial controllers might be augmented or replaced by LLM-driven methods, particularly for data-sensitive or complex environments.
