Characterizing Agents in Production

ICML 2026oral

LLM-based agents already operate in production across many industries, yet we lack a clear understanding of which technical methods make these deployments successful. We present the first systematic study of Characterizing Agents in Production (CAP) using first-hand data from agent developers. We co…

GEPA: Reflective Prompt Evolution Can Outperform Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2026oral

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adapted to downstream tasks via reinforcement learning (RL) methods like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), which often require thousands of rollouts to learn new tasks. We argue that the interpretable nature of language often provides a much ric…

LangProBe: a Language Program Benchmark

EMNLP 2025

Composing language models (LMs) into multi-step language programs and automatically optimizing their modular prompts is now a mainstream paradigm for building AI systems, but the tradeoffs in this space have only scarcely been studied before. We introduce LangProBe, the first large-scale benchmark f

Why Do Multi-Agent LLM Systems Fail?

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Despite enthusiasm for Multi-Agent LLM Systems (MAS), their performance gains on popular benchmarks are often minimal. This gap highlights a critical need for a principled understanding of why MAS fail. Addressing this question requires systematic identification and analysis of failure patterns. We…
