ISE: An Execution-Grounded Recipe for Multi-Turn OS-Agent Trajectories

arXiv:2606. 11520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training capable OS agents requires data that simultaneously captures structured user intents, multi-turn task delegation, and grounded tool execution--properties absent from existing datasets.

AgentAbstain: Do LLM Agents Know When Not to Act?

arXiv:2607. 10059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous tasks, yet existing evaluations mostly focus on task success rather than whether agents know when to abstain.

UniACE: A Unified Framework for Evaluating LLM Agentic Capabilities

UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.

AgentServeSim: Serving-System Simulation and Policy Search for LLM Agent Programs

AgentServeSim is a simulation framework designed to model the execution of large language model (LLM) agent programs, capturing cross‑turn key‑value (KV) state retention, successor turn release, and scheduling decisions. Unlike existing simulators that operate on request streams, AgentServeSim treats the entire agent program as a single unit of execution, using a Program Control Block, Program Orchestrator, Retention Plane, and Dispatch Plane to emulate realistic serving dynamics. Validation against real vLLM deployments on two GPU platforms shows mean job completion time errors below 5.5%, and the simulator enables automated policy search that improves mean JCT by up to 2.8% over hand‑written policies. whyItMatters":"The simulator provides a realistic, CPU‑based tool for evaluating and optimizing LLM agent serving policies, achieving high fidelity to real deployments and enabling measurable performance gains."

AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.
