The paper presents a real‑time, AI‑driven geosteering workflow that combines Generative Adversarial Networks for geological parameterization, ensemble methods for model updating, and dynamic programming optimization for decision support during directional drilling. The framework uses offline GAN training to generate realistic geology realizations and a Forward Neural Network to predict Logging‑While‑Drilling tool responses, enabling progressive reduction of subsurface uncertainty around the drilling bit. Tested on a low‑net‑to‑gross drilling scenario, the prototype delivers steering recommendations and automatically maps formation boundaries along the well path.

AgentServeSim is a simulation framework designed to model the execution of large language model (LLM) agent programs, capturing cross‑turn key‑value (KV) state retention, successor turn release, and scheduling decisions. Unlike existing simulators that operate on request streams, AgentServeSim treats the entire agent program as a single unit of execution, using a Program Control Block, Program Orchestrator, Retention Plane, and Dispatch Plane to emulate realistic serving dynamics. Validation against real vLLM deployments on two GPU platforms shows mean job completion time errors below 5.5%, and the simulator enables automated policy search that improves mean JCT by up to 2.8% over hand‑written policies.
whyItMatters":"The simulator provides a realistic, CPU‑based tool for evaluating and optimizing LLM agent serving policies, achieving high fidelity to real deployments and enabling measurable performance gains."

The paper introduces OSCAR, an LLM‑based framework that translates business descriptions into accurate optimization models while verifying and improving them through a simulator, coder, and reviewer. OSCAR uses a cost‑ordered escalation strategy to select among LLMs of varying price and capability, achieving 95–100% accuracy on benchmark problems with local, open‑weight models. The framework also provides competitive guarantees and token‑cost advantages over existing LLMs like Codex and Claude Code.
