arXiv:2607. 04290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are proposed as control interfaces for next-generation networks, but their latency, hallucinations, and lack of control guarantees make them unsuitable for near-real-time packet schedulers, especially in dynamic V2X environments.

arXiv:2605. 26418v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A properly calibrated rule-based autoscaler can beat every one of six mainstream deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms on cost across every workload we test - so when, if ever, does DRL actually help?

Inference serving systems must balance throughput and latency under bursty, heterogeneous workloads, yet the industry standard remains static batching policies that require manual tuning and cannot adapt to shifting traffic. We investigate whether reinforcement learning (RL) can learn adaptive batching and routing policies that outperform these heuristics, training REINFORCE and PPO agents on a discrete-event simulator validated against queuing theory and production traces (Azure Functions, BurstGPT).
