Instruction-following ability is critical for deploying large language models in real-world applications, where downstream components depend on the output satisfying specific constraints. Modern deployments increasingly handle the full task in a single LLM call, with one prompt specifying a layered output whose overall artifact, structural sections, and nested fields must each satisfy concrete constraints.
arXiv:2511. 04694v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language model (LLM) based systems take on high-stakes roles in real-world decision-making, they must reconcile competing instructions from multiple sources within a single prompt context.

While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel as static solvers, transforming them into autonomous agents remains challenging. This transition requires continuous environmental interaction, yet current agents lack the necessary persistent procedural memory.

arXiv:2606. 26649v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent safety in high-stakes domains requires formal policy enforcement, but most existing approaches either rely on probabilistic guardrails (fine-tuned classifiers, prompt-based steering) that offer no formal guarantees, or on hand-coded symbolic enforcement that does not scale to the breadth of real policy specifications.
