With the proliferation of large language model (LLM) variants, developers are turning to serverless computing for cost-efficient LLM deployment. However, public cloud providers often struggle to provide performance guarantees for serverless…
Machine data is central to observability and diagnosis in modern computing systems, appearing in logs, metrics, telemetry traces, and configuration snapshots. When provided to large language models (LLMs), this data typically arrives as a…
LLMs are increasingly used world-wide from daily tasks to agentic systems and data analytics, requiring significant GPU resources. LLM inference systems, however, are slow compared to database systems, and inference performance and…
Multimodal retrieval models fail on reasoning-intensive queries where images (diagrams, charts, screenshots) must be deeply integrated with text to identify relevant documents -- the best multimodal model achieves only 27.6 nDCG@10 on…
As LLMs are increasingly integrated into systems that browse, retrieve, summarize, and act on web content, webpages have become an untrusted input vector for downstream model behavior. This enables site owners, contributors, and adversaries…
EVMbench, released by OpenAI, Paradigm, and OtterSec, is the first large-scale benchmark for AI agents on smart contract security. Its results -- agents detect up to 45.6% of vulnerabilities and exploit 72.2% of a curated subset -- have…
Deploying large language models (LLMs) as autonomous browser agents exposes a significant attack surface in the form of Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI). Cloud-based defenses can provide strong semantic analysis, but they introduce latency…
Automated fault localization requires connecting an observed test failure to the responsible method across thousands of candidates--a task that purely statistical approaches handle with limited precision and that LLMs cannot yet handle at…
Multi-robot task planning requires decomposing natural-language instructions into executable actions for heterogeneous robot teams. Conventional Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) planners provide rigorous guarantees but struggle to…
Multi-agent LLM systems on edge devices face a memory management problem: device RAM is too small to hold every agent's KV cache simultaneously. On Apple M4 Pro with 10.2 GB of cache budget, only 3 agents fit at 8K context in FP16. A…
Recent advanced LLM-powered agent systems have exhibited their remarkable capabilities in tackling complex, long-horizon tasks. Nevertheless, they still suffer from inherent limitations in resource efficiency, context management, and…
KV cache management is essential for efficient LLM inference. To maximize utilization, existing inference engines evict finished requests' KV cache if new requests are waiting. This policy breaks for agentic workloads, which interleave LLM…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms exhibit high sample complexity, particularly when applied to Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (Dec-POMDPs). As a response, projects such as SampleFactory, EnvPool, Brax, and…
