Large language model agents accelerate inverse design of metal-organic frameworks for gas separation

arXiv:2607. 10559v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a highly modular platform for adsorptive gas separation, yet their vast reticular design space makes inverse design difficult under simultaneous constraints of chemical validity, separation performance, and structural diversity.

Agentic Context Learning with Self-Discovered Specification

arXiv:2607. 09794v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Context learning is an emerging inference-time task where LLMs must learn and apply novel, task-specific knowledge from intricate contexts absent from pre-training; even frontier models score under 24% task success.

A Formal Hierarchical Architecture for Agentic Orchestration with Stack-Based Execution and Lazy Discovery

arXiv:2607. 11138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid expansion of capabilities in Large Language Model (LLM) agents has exposed a critical architectural bottleneck: when agents are given access to a flat, monolithic registry of tools, the model must evaluate hundreds or thousands of options simultaneously.

Opti-Agent-Bench: Benchmarking End-to-End Optimization R&D Agents on Real-World Business Problems

arXiv:2607. 10768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based agents are increasingly deployed to solve optimization problems, yet existing benchmarks evaluate them on pre-structured mathematical formulations that bypass the most critical challenge: translating complex business requirements into correct models and solve efficiently.
