Process-Centric Analysis of Agentic Software Systems

This paper introduces Graphectory, a graph-based framework for analyzing the stochastic execution trajectories of agentic software systems, which reveals that richer prompts and stronger models yield more complex reasoning patterns while enabling real-time monitoring and intervention that significantly improves problem resolution rates and efficiency.

Adaptation of Agentic AI: A Survey of Post-Training, Memory, and Skills

This survey proposes a unified four-paradigm framework to categorize and analyze the fragmented landscape of agentic AI adaptation, distinguishing between agent-side improvements (A1/A2) and tool-side enhancements (T1/T2) to systematically review post-training methods, memory architectures, and skill systems while evaluating their trade-offs and outlining future challenges.

Cost Trade-offs of Reasoning and Non-Reasoning Large Language Models in Text-to-SQL

This paper demonstrates that reasoning Large Language Models significantly reduce cloud query execution costs and data consumption compared to non-reasoning models in Text-to-SQL tasks, while revealing that execution time is a poor proxy for cost efficiency and highlighting the substantial financial risks posed by non-reasoning models' tendency to generate inefficient queries.

Reliable Grid Forecasting: State Space Models for Safety-Critical Energy Systems

This paper introduces an operator-legible evaluation framework centered on under-prediction risk to demonstrate that standard accuracy metrics fail to capture safety-critical grid forecasting needs, revealing that while explicit weather integration improves reliability, unconstrained probabilistic models often induce "fake safety" through excessive inflation, a problem solved by new Bias/OPR-constrained objectives.

NC-Bench: An LLM Benchmark for Evaluating Conversational Competence

NC-Bench introduces a theory-grounded benchmark that evaluates the conversational competence of large language models by assessing their ability to manage the form and structure of natural interactions across basic, retrieval-augmented, and complex multi-turn scenarios, revealing that while models excel at basic answering, they struggle significantly with repair and complex sequence management tasks.

Multifaceted Scenario-Aware Hypergraph Learning for Next POI Recommendation

This paper proposes the Multifaceted Scenario-Aware Hypergraph Learning (MSAHG) framework, which addresses the limitations of existing methods in handling mobility variations across distinct contexts by constructing scenario-specific disentangled sub-hypergraphs and employing a parameter-splitting mechanism to resolve inter-scenario conflicts, thereby significantly improving next POI recommendation performance.
