Advancing Model Research in AgentX: Long-Horizon Autonomy for Industrial Recommender Systems

The paper introduces AgentX-Model, a dual‑agent framework that links proposal development with model experimentation in industrial recommender systems. The Research Agent drafts proposals from literature and prior findings, while the Model Agent runs multi‑round experiments, returning code, metrics, and open questions. The framework iteratively selects starting implementations and formulates new research questions, organizing work into Reproduce, Follow‑up, Composition, and Diagnose actions. Across production evaluations, most experiments exceeded business baselines, with recent A/B tests showing significant gains in acquisition efficiency, advertising spend, and watch time while reducing computational cost.

Control the Harness, Control the Cost: Routing and Governing AI Coding Agents in the Enterprise

The paper discusses how enterprises increasingly deploy AI coding agent harnesses, often purchased from vendors like Anthropic or OpenAI, and how these harnesses dictate model choice, prompt handling, and cost. It introduces a fast, customizable routing system that classifies prompts and strategically routes them to minimize expensive model usage, achieving 14–21% cost savings in a simulated 10,000-seat enterprise. The study also evaluates risks across twenty harnesses, highlights vendor dependence, and proposes an internal control plane for future harness ownership decisions.
