The paper proposes a shift from simple AI model storage to comprehensive AI model management, introducing the concept of "learnware"—a model paired with a specification that can be generated without exposing training data. By treating learnware as the basic unit, the Learnware Dock System (LDS) enables identification, reuse, and assembly of independently developed models for new user tasks. The specifications, generated via a data‑preserving machine learning process, also act as a collaboration protocol, allowing models and agents to work together across different objectives.

TuiML is a machine‑learning library specifically designed for AI agents rather than human programmers. It offers native algorithms for supervised, unsupervised, time‑series, data handling, tuning, and evaluation tasks, with each component exposing machine‑readable metadata and parameter schemas so agents can search, inspect, compose, and validate workflows autonomously. The library ensures every call is validated, seeded, and traced, and sessions can be exported as runnable notebooks, making experiments reproducible by construction. Benchmarks indicate TuiML remains predictively competitive with scikit‑learn and Weka, while keeping data and models confined to the local machine.

The paper discusses a third paradigm shift in software development, termed Software 3.0, where context and reasoning drive behavior. It proposes that Software 3.0 converges to three core components: a generalized database for all persistent state, a large model that performs reasoning and generation, and an agent that orchestrates the interaction between the two. The authors formalize this convergence, present a minimal reference architecture, and analyze its applicability and limits, noting that it applies best to task domains that are expressible, verifiable, externally stateful, and tool-complete.
The paper argues that while machine-readable models like SysML v2 enable AI participation in systems engineering, the data architecture surrounding these models must also be robust. It introduces the concept of epistemic adequacy, split into read‑side adequacy (ensuring derivations, status, and provenance are answerable) and write‑side admissibility (filtering AI contributions before they enter the record). The authors illustrate their ideas using the public Apollo 11 SysML v2 reconstruction and propose a Governed‑Query Architecture Framework to enforce these principles.

The paper introduces SMART, a symbolic performance‑modeling library for machine‑learning systems that relies almost entirely on natural‑language design documents rather than code. By using AI coding agents to regenerate the implementation from these documents, the framework eliminates the need for continuous refactoring as models and systems evolve. The authors demonstrate that regenerated implementations match hand‑audited reference models to round‑off precision, suggesting that design documents can serve as the durable artifact for ML‑systems co‑design tools.

arXiv:2608. 04968v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The capabilities of an LLM agent depend not only on its model but on the harness: the executable program that constructs context, invokes tools, verifies results, and recovers from failure.
