ExecTune: Effective Steering of Black-Box LLMs with Guide Models

arXiv:2604.09741v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For large language models deployed through black-box APIs, recurring inference costs often exceed one-time training costs. This motivates composed agentic systems that amortize expensive reasoning into reusable intermediate representations. We study a broad class of such systems, termed Guide-Core Policies (GCoP), in which a guide model generates a structured strategy that is executed by a black-box core model. This abstraction subsumes base, supervised, and advisor-style approaches, which differ primarily in how the guide is trained. We formalize GCoP under a cost-sensitive utility objective and show that end-to-end performance is governed by guide-averaged executability: the probability that a strategy generated by the guide can be faithfully executed by the core. Our analysis shows that existing GCoP instantiations often fail to optimize executability under deployment constraints, resulting in brittle strategies and inefficient computation. Motivated by these insights, we propose ExecTune, a principled training recipe that combines teacher-guided...
