The article surveys LLM-based agentic reasoning frameworks, presenting a unified formal language that categorizes them into single-agent, tool-based, and multi-agent methods. It reviews application scenarios in scientific discovery, healthcare, software engineering, society, economics, and general-purpose tasks, and compares the distinct features and evaluation strategies of each category. The survey highlights the rapid development of complex agentic systems in real-world contexts.

The paper introduces a multi‑agent framework that lets large language models (LLMs) perform controlled experiments using scientific simulation models, specifically for pharmaceutical process design. Given a user query and baseline configuration, the system builds a structured task, designs and runs comparative simulations, interprets outcomes, and generates evidence‑based recommendations for optimizing process parameters. By integrating high‑fidelity simulations with LLMs, the approach yields more specific, actionable outputs and improves user‑rated correctness and helpfulness compared to language‑only reasoning.

arXiv:2608. 15591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents deployed in production environments face a fundamental tension: the agent's behavior is frozen at deployment time, while the business rules and edge cases it must handle continue to evolve.

arXiv:2606. 26859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recommendation algorithm iteration is moving from an artisanal, engineer-bound process toward an industrialized research loop, but this transition remains blocked by a structural execution bottleneck: the idea-to-launch cycle still depends on human engineers to generate hypotheses, modify production code, launch A/B experiments, and attribute online results.
