The paper investigates how to design portfolios of agentic AI workflows that vary in reasoning strategy, verification structure, and compute cost. It proposes a portfolio-and-selector framework where multiple workflow executions are run and the best output is chosen, balancing additional compute with potential gains in accuracy. The authors develop exact and approximate optimization methods, evaluate them on three datasets, and show modest improvements over the best single workflow.

Agentic AI systems often approach the same task through multiple workflows that differ in reasoning strategy, verification structure, and compute cost. A natural deployment policy is to use the workfl...
The paper introduces InFlowOp, a label‑free optimization framework that assigns costs to each decision in a multi‑agent workflow, balancing agent competence against execution time. It determines task granularity and agent assignment before execution and corrects faults during execution using the same cost metric. The authors also present Braid, a benchmark for multi‑agent coordination, and show that InFlowOp outperforms single‑agent baselines by up to 11.97% across various domains.
