Divo: Learning a Stable and Effective Query Optimizer with a Diverse Workload

Summary: Divo tackles LQO brittleness on highly diverse workloads via template-evolving query generation, a two-phase training pipeline with 100K+ static plan experiences, and a diversity-aware probabilistic loss. The result is a more stable optimizer on PostgreSQL mixed workloads, yielding 1.3x over PG and far outperforming prior LQOs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Apr 11 2026)
