Not All AI Agents Are Equal: Characterizing Resource and Performance Dynamics

The paper investigates how large‑language‑model (LLM) based AI agents mix latency, local resource usage, and container bottlenecks when processing user requests that involve remote LLM calls and local tool execution. By measuring three representative tasks—retrieval‑augmented question answering, web search, and software coding—the authors show that agents exhibit diverse resource dynamics, with concurrent requests revealing task‑specific bottlenecks in CPU, disk I/O, and memory. Leveraging these insights, they propose CPU‑aware tool admission and task‑aware CPU allocation, achieving up to a 5.4× speed‑up for CPU‑sensitive tasks and a 32% reduction in average latency across multiple tasks.

Agents Are Systems, Not Models: Rethinking Agentic Evaluation

The paper argues that evaluating agents as fixed models is insufficient, proposing instead to treat them as configurable systems. Using a new benchmark of four scientific tasks, the authors analyze how five configuration aspects—task information, reasoning, self‑verification, time budget, and backbone model—affect performance, noting that about 54% of outcome variance arises from run‑to‑run differences even with the same settings. The study finds that providing more task information has the strongest impact, while interactions among settings (e.g., extra time only helps with adequate information or model capability) and the choice of verification tools significantly shape agent behavior.
