Answering complex natural language questions often necessitates multi-step reasoning and integrating external information. Several systems have combined knowledge retrieval with a large language model (LLM) to answer such questions. These…

Coding agents are increasingly deployed to autonomously maintain software, including to resolve user-reported issues: a bug report comes in and the agent creates a patch to address it. However, in any real-world deployment, they will…

LLM agents increasingly act by writing code, yet a split persists between the runtime that drives the agent and the code the model writes. The runtime owns the loop, context, and control flow, and the model has little say over any of them.…
