Kairos: Semantics-Aware Orchestration of Planning Engines across Classical, Numeric, Temporal and Hybrid PDDL

Kairos is a planning system that orchestrates five heterogeneous planning engines—ground heuristic search, compressed and snap-action temporal search, time-step hybrid dynamics, and lifted search—based on a semantic profile of each task. By scheduling these engines within a shared time and memory budget and validating every candidate plan with an independent validator, Kairos achieves broader PDDL coverage (from STRIPS to PDDL+) and outperforms the strongest specialized planners on 1,756 tasks, especially in numeric, temporal, PDDL3, and PDDL+ domains. The system also handles all seventeen PDDL features tested, with key contributions from compressed temporal search and a novelty fallback mechanism.

Blueprint First, Model Second: A Framework for Deterministic LLM Workflow

arXiv:2508. 02721v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While powerful, the inherent non-determinism of large language model (LLM) agents limits their application in structured operational environments where procedural fidelity and predictable execution are strict requirements.
