Substrate-Portable Execution for Production LLM Workflows
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.06128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production LLM agents execute tool-calling loops, retrieval chains, and compositional workflows in multiple modes, yet execution semantics are often coupled to one runtime. We encountered this portability problem in Rufus, a conversational AI assistant with a large tool catalog that serves millions of Amazon customers. Rufus supports real-time serving, asynchronous background tasks, and high-volume batch workloads such as evaluation and content pregeneration. Each mode has distinct service-level objectives and typically uses a separate runtime. R

Why it matters
“Substrate-Portable Execution for Production LLM Workflows” 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.
