The paper investigates how to design portfolios of agentic AI workflows that vary in reasoning strategy, verification structure, and compute cost. It proposes a portfolio-and-selector framework where multiple workflow executions are run and the best output is chosen, balancing additional compute with potential gains in accuracy. The authors develop exact and approximate optimization methods, evaluate them on three datasets, and show modest improvements over the best single workflow.

Agentic AI systems often approach the same task through multiple workflows that differ in reasoning strategy, verification structure, and compute cost. A natural deployment policy is to use the workfl...

Optimizing agentic workflows, such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, requires navigating a combinatorial space of discrete component choices under tight evaluation budgets. Existing approaches - heuristic search, black-box optimization, and standard tree search methods - do not explicitly exploit the compositional structure of these workflows, leading to redundant computation and inefficient budget allocation.
arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.
