Multi-turn LLM agents interleave model calls with external tool invocations, shifting serving from stateless request processing to stateful program execution. Serving these workloads requires scheduling, KV-cache management, and routing policies that use program-level context, including turn dependencies, tool-induced gaps, and reusable KV state.

The paper investigates how large‑language‑model (LLM) based AI agents mix latency, local resource usage, and container bottlenecks when processing user requests that involve remote LLM calls and local tool execution. By measuring three representative tasks—retrieval‑augmented question answering, web search, and software coding—the authors show that agents exhibit diverse resource dynamics, with concurrent requests revealing task‑specific bottlenecks in CPU, disk I/O, and memory. Leveraging these insights, they propose CPU‑aware tool admission and task‑aware CPU allocation, achieving up to a 5.4× speed‑up for CPU‑sensitive tasks and a 32% reduction in average latency across multiple tasks.
