DynBranch introduces speculative subgraph reuse for dynamic agentic LLM serving by making unresolved branches addressable before they resolve. This allows candidate subgraphs to run during branch resolution, enabling reuse of completed subgraph results across subsequent requests. Experiments with Qwen3-32B on 4x H200 GPUs show up to 32% mean latency reduction over the best prior system and 46–66% over a no‑reuse baseline, while maintaining correct workflow outputs.
Multi-turn LLM agents interleave model calls with external tool invocations, shifting serving from stateless request processing to stateful program execution. Serving these workloads requires scheduling, KV-cache management, and routing policies that use program-level context, including turn dependencies, tool-induced gaps, and reusable KV state.

TOPAS is a Task‑Oriented Prefix‑Aware Scheduler designed for multi‑agent large language model serving. It jointly decides which agent prefixes to retain in a shared key‑value cache and which requests to schedule, balancing the reduction of each task’s longest remaining service path against the benefit of downstream prefix reuse while accounting for movement and preemption costs. Experiments on synthetic DAGs and MetaGPT software‑development workflows show that TOPAS can reduce mean and p99 job completion times by up to 39.8%/49.4% and 22.0%/26.6% respectively compared to the best baselines.
arXiv:2607. 20495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent systems decompose complex tasks into directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of specialized agent executions, creating natural opportunities for caching intermediate results across queries.
arXiv:2608. 14624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems have emerged as an important deployment paradigm for AI services, where each user request is decomposed into a sequence of specialized agents.
LatentRemedy is a method designed to improve inference efficiency in multi‑agent systems that share non‑prefix KV caches. By inserting a small number of task‑conditioned latent tokens generated via an MLP, the target agent can better interpret reused context without recomputing the shared block. Experiments demonstrate that LatentRemedy consistently outperforms existing reuse baselines on conflicting tasks while keeping TTFT close to direct reuse as cache size grows.
The paper investigates how prefix caching, a default optimization in open‑source LLM serving stacks, affects reproducibility when combined with weight quantization. Experiments on an eighty‑episode multi‑turn agentic tool‑use workload show that enabling the cache causes the agent’s trajectory to change in 36.2 % of episodes at 16‑bit precision and 75.0 % at 4‑bit precision, while disabling the cache yields perfectly reproducible runs. The study identifies specific cache‑related settings that drive run‑to‑run divergence and demonstrates that cached serving is deterministic only when the cache state is preserved, which is not the case in typical deployments.
