Seeing What Is Actually There: PriVE-Bench and PriVE-Tools for Counterfactual Evaluation of Agentic Visual Evidence in VLMs

arXiv:2607. 16311v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) often answer visual questions using learned language and category priors rather than grounding their predictions in the image itself.

FlashRT: Agent Harness for Guiding Agents to Deploy Real-Time Multimodal Applications

arXiv:2607. 18171v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-time multimodal applications, including voice agents and interactive video generation, compose heterogeneous models into pipelines whose efficient deployment requires application-specific decisions about placement, streaming, and intra-model parallelism.

LLMs and Agentic AI Systems for Smart Grids: A Tutorial on Architectures and Applications

arXiv:2607. 18147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems have evolved from natural language tasks to using external tools to plan, retrieve, and act in technical domains.

Accurate and Efficient Long-Term Memory for LLM Agents

arXiv:2607. 16211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents augmented with persistent memory can recall past interactions, but existing systems suffer from two limitations: flat, unstructured storage loses relational context needed for multi-hop and temporal reasoning, and reliance on expensive LLM-based classification makes them impractical for latency-sensitive deployment.

Deterministic Replay for AI Agent Systems

arXiv:2607. 16200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agent systems that couple large language models (LLMs) with external tools and APIs are inherently non-deterministic: LLM sampling variance, external API state, CDN infrastructure headers, and execution-environment noise collectively prevent any prior agent run from being faithfully re-executed.
