Tool use, function calling, orchestration and the protocols that let models act rather than only answer.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, defines a standardized interface for connecting large language models (LLMs) to external tools, data sources, and services. Within months of release, hundreds of community-built MCP servers appeared on GitHub, but no software-maintenance literature has yet described how the ecosystem is being structured in production.
Always-on agents are systems whose future behavior depends on durable state accumulated across earlier interactions. We treat them as persistent-state systems: the operative system includes retrievable memories, but also task ledgers, permissions, credentials, commitments, provenance and audit records, shared state, trigger conditions, and externally committed effects linked to those records.
Knowledge graphs can guide large language models (LLMs) reasoning, but the graph seen by a system is usually a retrieved, linked, temporally scoped, and incomplete evidence state rather than a complete account of truth. We develop a theoretical perspective on grounding observable LLM trajectories under such incomplete graph evidence.
Improving vision-language models (VLMs) on visual reasoning typically requires retraining or hand-designed prompts and tools. We present Dynamo, a training-free framework that adapts a frozen VLM without any weight updates.
Embodied agents are typically built as hand-designed compositions of perception, memory, planning, and action modules. This modularity exposes a large architectural design space, but current systems still rely on researcher intuition to choose where information is stored, how observations are processed, and how model calls are connected.
Since intelligence fundamentally relies on efficient skill acquisition (Chollet, 2019), the ability to leverage skills is critical. For LLMs, skills, manually authored or extracted from task trajectories, are textual recipes encoding mature problem-solving experience and are critical to agentic capabilities.
Long-horizon tool agents are bottlenecked by how their context grows toward the limits of the context window. Recent systems make context management agent- or system-controlled, but they either learn a compression policy that discards evidence or manage context in a layer the agent never sees.
Spreadsheets are widely used for business analysis, financial modeling, reporting, and decision-making. However, most existing spreadsheet benchmarks evaluate isolated operations such as single-formula generation or local cell edits, and therefore fail to capture end-to-end workflows in realistic business settings.
While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel as static solvers, transforming them into autonomous agents remains challenging. This transition requires continuous environmental interaction, yet current agents lack the necessary persistent procedural memory.
Demand for personalized financial advising is growing, but consistent advisor expertise is difficult to obtain, scale, and encode in LLM systems. Simple persona prompts rarely specify how a financial advisor should reason and often drift toward generic recommendations.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the gold standard for molecular structure elucidation, yet interpreting complex spectra for unknown molecules remains a bottleneck reliant on human expertise. While artificial intelligence has advanced this field, current methods face a critical trade-off: database retrieval cannot identify novel scaffolds, while de novo molecular structure elucidation models operate as black boxes, lacking the atom-level interpretability required for rigorous scientific validation.
