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."
arXiv:2606. 09613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn LLM agents interleave model calls with external tool invocations, shifting serving from stateless request processing to stateful program execution.
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.

Agent Lightning v1.0 is a lightweight framework that enables harnessed agentic reinforcement learning, where the agent harness—managing tools, context, and control flow—directly participates in model post‑training. It supports arbitrary agent harnesses and addresses challenges such as retokenization, sample merging, and advantage calculation, providing a reproducible pipeline for instruction‑following, search, and coding agents. In experiments, RL training on 6K examples improved Qwen3.5‑9B’s performance on SWE‑bench from 41.8% to 56.4%.
PeakBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate how large language model agents invoke multiple tools while respecting resource constraints and parallel execution. It provides executable multi‑tool workflows with dependency annotations and measured resource profiles, and introduces a two‑part evaluation framework that separates logical planning from physical scheduling. The study shows that strong logical planning alone does not guarantee safe or efficient execution, and that providing resource information can reduce overflows and improve utilization.

arXiv:2606. 03077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard post-training paradigm for large language models (LLMs), extending beyond preference alignment to complex reasoning and multi-turn agentic behaviors.
arXiv:2602. 09345v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in multi-tenant cloud environments, where they execute diverse tool calls within sandboxed containers, each call with distinct resource demands and rapid fluctuations.
arXiv:2608. 00107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems must repeatedly decide whether to answer directly, decompose a task, invoke a tool, execute code, delegate to a specialist, verify an intermediate result, or recover from failure.
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.
