A Tutorial on Autonomous Fault-Tolerant Control Using Knowledge-Grounded LLM Agents

arXiv:2606. 31635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fault recovery in process plants still relies heavily on plant operators, especially when faults fall outside predefined supervisory logic.

POIROT: Interrogating Agents for Failure Detection in Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2606. 02282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Orchestrating Large Language Models into Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) has unlocked remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet emergent failures and hallucinations that resist characterisation block their deployment in safety-critical domains -- a gap made legally untenable by emerging AI regulation.

A Simulation Platform for AUV Fault Recovery: Exploring LLM-Based Diagnostic Strategies

The paper introduces SPAR, a closed‑loop simulation platform that couples real‑time AUV control software with a higher‑level orchestration layer for fault injection, prompting, and evaluation of large language models (LLMs) in diagnosing and recovering from anomalies. SPAR enables ensemble testing of LLMs, comparing a frontier model with three locally deployable LLMs on a mass‑shift fault scenario across 480 trials, revealing that model choice significantly affects diagnostic accuracy. The study demonstrates that while the frontier model consistently ranks the correct fault mechanism among its top hypotheses, local models succeed mainly when they follow the full diagnostic procedure, and overall diagnosis and operational decisions appear decoupled in this dataset.

Large Language Models for Agentic NetOps and AIOps: Architectures, Evaluation, and Safety

arXiv:2605. 12729v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly being used to support network operations (NetOps) and artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps), including incident investigation, root-cause analysis, configuration synthesis, and limited self-healing.

From Language Models to World-Acting Systems: Progress and Limits of Agentic AI across Digital, Social, Virtual, and Physical Environments

The paper reviews how large language models have evolved into agents that can influence external environments through tool use, interface operation, delegation, state retention, virtual world inhabitation, and robotic control. It critiques the narrative of a single march toward autonomy, distinguishing model competence from system integration, persistence, and safe authority. The authors find that action-interface expansion is well documented, while robust completion, recovery, authorization, and independent verification remain less proven, and they propose a framework of justified delegation to guide future research.

Is Your Agent Playing Dead? Deployed LLM Agents Exhibit Constraint-Evasive Fabrication and Thanatosis

arXiv:2606. 14831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents and characterizes a spectrum of previously unreported behaviours we term Constraint-Evasive Fabrication (CEF): when an LLM agent operates under irreconcilable constraints (where no response can simultaneously satisfy all active rules) it spontaneously fabricates plausible external obstacles and presents them as a fact.
