When Should Service Agents Reconsider? Difficulty-Routed Control in Customer-Service Operations

arXiv:2607. 01426v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous customer-service agents are shifting from conversational interfaces toward operational execution roles: they retrieve firm records, apply service policies, and execute backend writes such as refunds, cancellations, exchanges, order modifications, and reservation changes.

From Monolithic Blending to Agentic Orchestration: Dynamic Response for Conversational Assistants at Scale

The paper describes a production migration of a large-scale customer‑support conversational assistant from a single blended model to a Dynamic Response (DR) architecture. DR replaces the Qwen3‑235B‑A22B responder with a bounded ReAct orchestrator that selects typed tools and a smaller generator that writes from a validated context contract. The migration yields significant improvements: precision‑first entity selection boosts reservation selector precision from 8.3% to 89.1%, typed action IDs eliminate structured‑action hallucination, and hard‑escalation responses drop from 5.60% to 3.08%. Latency is reduced from 3.87 s to 2.24 s, GPU usage is cut by roughly one‑third, and self‑hosting cuts annual model‑serving costs by more than an order of magnitude.

EARS: Explanatory Abstention for Reliable Sub-Agent Modeling in Large-scale Multi-Agent Systems

In large-scale enterprise settings, centralized multi-agent systems (MAS) are increasingly adopted, in which a coordinator delegates user requests to lightweight, domain-specialized sub-agents. While this architecture improves modularity, scalability, and cost efficiency, its reliability depends not only on accurate routing but also on sub-agents' ability to calibrate their responses to capability constraints.

AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.
