Bridging the Last Mile of Circuit Design: PostEDA-Bench, a Hierarchical Benchmark for PPA Convergence and DRC Fixing

arXiv:2605. 06936v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based agents are increasingly applied to the "last mile" of Electronic Design Automation (EDA): repairing residual sign-off Design Rule Check (DRC) violations and converging Power-Performance-Area (PPA) targets after tool runs.

Phionyx: A Deterministic AI Runtime Architecture with Structured State Management and Pre-Response Governance

arXiv:2607. 18246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Phionyx, a deterministic AI runtime architecture derived from the broader Echoism interaction framework that introduces a governance-first approach to AI engineering: treating large language model (LLM) outputs as noisy sensor measurements rather than direct decisions.

Give Them an Inch and They Will Take a Mile:Understanding and Measuring Caller Identity Confusion in MCP-Based AI Systems

arXiv:2603. 07473v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open and standardized interface that enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with external tools and services, and is increasingly adopted by AI agents.

Don't Blame the Large Language Model: How Agent Harness Evolution Shapes Coding Agent Quality

arXiv:2607. 03691v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Coding agents, autonomous systems that use large language models (LLMs) to resolve software engineering tasks, rely on agent harness: a middleware layer in between a developer and a large language model that orchestrates system prompts, tool execution, context management, and iterative reasoning loops.

Agents in the Wild: Where Research Meets Deployment

arXiv:2607. 19336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems large language model (LLM) based architectures capable of reasoning, planning, acting, and coordinating with tools and other agents are rapidly transitioning from research prototypes to production scale deployments across domains such as software engineering, scientific discovery, and finance.

Fundamental limits of distributed multiclass classification from simple binary decisions

arXiv:2607. 19334v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the problem of constructing a $K$-class classifier from the combination of $O(\log K)$ simple binary classifiers -- this is a natural paradigm to construct a sophisticated classifier in a distributed manner with each agent performing a relatively straightforward task.
