Learning to Construct Practical Agentic Systems
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.00189v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated design and optimization of agentic LLM-based systems leads to sophisticated systems that substantially improve result quality over off-the-shelf agentic patterns. However, studies of fielded agentic systems show that production systems focus much more on issues such as simplicity, controllability, and predictability of inference costs. In this paper we propose principled approaches to designing and optimizing practical agentic systems. We describe an agent framework that enables designers to enforce modularity in agentic syste

Why it matters
“Learning to Construct Practical Agentic Systems” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
