Learning to Configure Agentic AI Systems

The paper introduces ARC, a lightweight hierarchical policy that learns to configure LLM‑based agent systems on a per‑query basis by treating each configuration as a temporally extended option in a semi‑Markov decision process. Unlike fixed templates or hand‑tuned heuristics, ARC dynamically selects workflows, tools, token budgets, and prompts tailored to the difficulty of each query. Experiments on reasoning, tool‑use, and agentic benchmarks show that ARC outperforms budget‑matched tool‑augmented LLMs, boosting reasoning accuracy by 31.3%, tool‑use accuracy by 13.95%, and doubling success on the τ‑Bench Airline Pass task from 9.0% to 18.0%.

Agentick: A Unified Benchmark for General Sequential Decision-Making Agents

Agentick is a unified benchmark for sequential decision‑making agents that evaluates RL, LLM, VLM, hybrid, and human agents on 37 procedurally generated tasks across six capability categories, four difficulty levels, and five observation modalities via a single Gymnasium‑compatible interface. It includes a Coding API, oracle reference policies, pre‑built SFT datasets, a composable agent harness, and a live leaderboard. An evaluation of 27 configurations and over 90,000 episodes shows no single approach dominates, with GPT‑5 mini leading overall, PPO excelling in planning and multi‑agent tasks, and the reasoning harness boosting LLM performance by 3‑10×, while ASCII observations outperform natural language.

OOPMAS: Object-Oriented Multi-Agent Systems for Query-Level Workflow Generation

OOPMAS introduces a training‑free framework that generates both the agent set and the coordination workflow at the granularity of individual queries. Agents are defined as object‑oriented class definitions with dedicated roles, tools, and persistent state, while workflows are expressed as executable main functions over these agent objects. A dynamic skill library accumulates structured lessons from execution feedback across optimization rounds, enabling in‑context improvement without any gradient updates or fine‑tuning, and achieves 89.6% accuracy on a mixed‑task benchmark, outperforming the strongest baseline by 18.1 percentage points.

DHCG: Dynamic Construction of Hierarchical Collaboration Graphs for LLM-Based Multi-Agent Reasoning

The paper introduces DHCG, a framework that dynamically constructs hierarchical collaboration graphs for large language model–based multi‑agent systems. DHCG coordinates Planner, Worker, and Generator modules to adaptively determine the composition and scale of agents during execution, guided by feedback and action‑aware preference optimization. Experiments on code generation, mathematical reasoning, and domain‑specific tasks show DHCG surpasses static and dynamic baselines, improving performance by 2.77–8.02 points and achieving a 13.06‑point gain over single‑agent baselines.

TRIAGE: Three-level Routing and Intelligent Agent Guidance for Efficient Execution

TRIAGE introduces a three-level routing framework for Large Language Model agents that reduces token consumption by reusing historical execution trajectories. The system classifies queries into direct reuse, skill substitution, and full ReAct levels, achieving significant token savings in large-scale security monitoring and cross-domain benchmarks. An automatic skill extraction mechanism further refines reusable patterns, creating a positive feedback loop that improves efficiency over time.
