A Formal Hierarchical Architecture for Agentic Orchestration with Stack-Based Execution and Lazy Discovery

arXiv:2607. 11138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid expansion of capabilities in Large Language Model (LLM) agents has exposed a critical architectural bottleneck: when agents are given access to a flat, monolithic registry of tools, the model must evaluate hundreds or thousands of options simultaneously.

Conversational Orchestration for Organic 6G

arXiv:2608. 10714v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Organic 6G vision of a network of networks spanning an edge-cloud continuum complemented by non-terrestrial resources requires, to realize its promise, service provisioning that is simple to operate, scalable across independently administered domains, and agile under domain churn (i.

SpecBox: Speculative Sandbox Scheduling for Efficient LLM Agent Serving

arXiv:2607. 23933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLM agents increasingly rely on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to invoke isolated external sandboxes, disaggregated sandbox deployment introduces a fundamental tension between resource utilization and interactive tail latency.

OrchSLM: Probing the Dynamics of Small Language Model Orchestration

OrchSLM is a routing framework that unifies non‑interactive orchestration methods for small language models (SLMs). It allows heterogeneous SLMs to independently generate candidate solutions while a router manages their cached outputs without further model interaction. By systematically probing OrchSLM, the study shows how orchestration behavior depends on task structure, model‑pool composition, and multi‑agent consensus.

Benchmarking AI Agents for Hardware Design Automation via MCP Tool Calling

The paper investigates whether locally deployed large language models can automate hardware design workflows that involve repetitive, dependency-ordered operations using specialized tools. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is created to emulate a proprietary hardware design tool, and a benchmark tests single and multi-step edits, invalid requests, misspelled prompts, and multi-server contexts. Seven open-source models are evaluated across different pipeline choices, revealing that strong models can nearly fully cover expected calls, but reliability hinges on task structure and agent configuration, with comprehensive tool descriptions reducing failures and multi-agent setups aiding weaker models at the cost of extra calls.

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.

OpenClaw and Ollama in Agentic AI: Toward Fully Autonomous and Scalable AI Agent Systems

arXiv:2607. 28629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid transition from reactive large language models (LLMs) to persistent, action-capable systems has exposed critical gaps in the architectural understanding of Agentic AI, particularly in separating inference, orchestration, and execution layers for autonomous AI agents.

Architectural Design, Not Only Model Intelligence, Governs Multi-Agent LLM Performance

The paper argues that the architecture of multi‑agent large language model (LLM) frameworks, rather than just the intelligence of the underlying models, largely determines system performance. It introduces a taxonomy of architectural dimensions—such as orchestration, memory, planning interfaces, specialization, and communication topology—and presents MAFBench, a unified evaluation suite. An empirical study across nine frameworks, keeping the LLM constant, reveals six design principles and shows that choices like orchestration and communication topology can dramatically affect latency, accuracy, and coordination success.
