Scaling LLM-based optimization from textbook-scale instances to real-world, industrial tasks remains a critical open challenge. Existing approaches are predominantly evaluated on small, self-contained textual problems and often commit to a solver-integrated paradigm, limiting their ability to handle the scale and structural diversity of practical optimization workloads. In this work, we propose a practical framework for training open-source LLMs to tackle real-world, industrial-scale optimization. We first show empirically that solver-integrated reasoning, exact combinatorial algorithm, and heuristic search exhibit complementary strengths across different problem structures and scales. Motivated by this, we introduce Strategy-Diverse Reinforcement Learning (SDRL), which trains LLMs as adaptive optimization meta-solvers. SDRL leverages this complementarity through a correctness-gated hierarchical diversity reward that promotes robust exploration across varying strategies and within each strategy, effectively preventing premature strategy collapse. We further introduce a mixed-format training scheme that jointly supports both self-contained textual problems and file-grounded instances. Across comprehensive evaluations, our framework outperforms existing fine-tuned methods and frontier models including DeepSeek-V4-Pro and GPT-5.5, both on average across benchmarks and on industrial-scale optimization tasks. We release our code and training data to facilitate future research https://github.com/tokentideAI/LLMMetaSolver.
