LLM Agents Perform Controlled Experiments Using Simulation Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.23622v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities in reasoning, planning, and tool use, but many scientific and engineering tasks require more than plausible text and code generation. They require understanding how a system responds to intervention, which in practice depends on controlled experimentation. In this work, we propose a multi-agent framework that enables LLM agents to conduct controlled experiments with scientific simulation models for pharmaceutical process design. Given a user query and a baseline configuration, the system
