TO-Agents: A Multi-Agent AI Framework for Subjective Preference-Guided Topology Optimization

Read the original on arXiv AI →

TO-Agents is a multi‑agent AI framework that translates natural‑language design intent into iterative topology optimization. It converts a human problem description into solver inputs, runs the optimizer, renders 3D topologies, and employs a judge agent to critique and revise results using multiview vision‑language reasoning. Evaluated on a cantilever beam and a phone‑stand design, the system achieved preference‑aligned designs in 60% of trials, outperforming an ablated pipeline by up to six times and enabling end‑to‑end intent‑to‑prototype design with additive manufacturing.

Design-to-Plan: A Large Language Model-Based Multi-Agent Framework for Manufacturing Process Planning from 3D CAD Models and 2D Engineering Drawings

Design-to-Plan is a large language model–based multi‑agent framework that automates end‑to‑end manufacturing process planning from 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings. The system uses an orchestrator to coordinate specialized agents for feature recognition, drawing analysis, context fusion, knowledge retrieval, process sequencing, tool selection, and report generation, integrating deterministic modules with LLM reasoning. Evaluation on 300 benchmark cases shows high success rates, strong tool selection accuracy, effective conflict detection, and reduced token usage, demonstrating the framework’s ability to produce consistent, traceable design‑to‑plan outputs.

Can LLM design high-quality experiments? A Comprehensive and Systematic Benchmark on Autonomous Experimental Design

AI for Research (AI4Research) leverages AI to automate and improve scientific workflows. While experimental design is a critical stage of the research process, prior work has focused primarily on code implementation and execution, overlooking the importance of this stage, and no benchmark exists to evaluate AI's ability to conduct systematic experiment design.

Agentic Architect: An Agentic AI Framework for Architecture Design Exploration and Optimization

Agentic Architect is a new framework that uses large language models to automatically evolve and optimize CPU microarchitectural designs. Starting from a seed design, the LLM proposes code changes, which are compiled, simulated, and evaluated against performance, area, and power constraints, with results feeding back into subsequent iterations. The framework was tested on prefetching, cache replacement, and branch prediction, achieving notable speedups and area reductions compared to state‑of‑the‑art designs.
