Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is moving from proof-of-concept demonstrations to system-level deployment in sixth-generation (6G) networks. Because sensing and communication share hardware, spectrum, and waveform resources, ISAC design now involves many tightly coupled choices, including waveform selection, sensing algorithm setup, resource scheduling, and deployment planning. This design space is already too large to manage well through manual tuning or isolated optimizers. This article introduces the \textit{Agent Compiler}, a large language model (LLM)-enabled compilation layer that translates high-level engineering intent into complete and executable ISAC system configurations. The Agent Compiler works in four stages: intent parsing, task decomposition, policy graph synthesis, and infrastructure mapping. It produces a verifiable intermediate representation called the ISAC Policy Graph (IPG). A runtime engine then deploys the compiled configuration and supports closed-loop adaptation at three levels: fast parameter updates, partial recompilation of affected subgraphs, and full workflow recompilation. The core design principle is strict time-scale separation: the LLM handles slow-loop strategic decisions, while proven algorithms retain real-time control in the fast loop. A UAV-assisted disaster rescue example illustrates the full compilation process. We also discuss open issues, including compilation latency, output reliability, constraint verification, and pipeline security, to guide future research.
Configuring 5G networks through standardized exposure interfaces—the Network Exposure Function (NEF) and the Common API Framework (CAPIF)—remains operationally burdensome, requiring manual navigation of 3 GPP parameter schemas, OAuth2 authentication, and live network state. This paper presents a modular, intent-driven architecture that translates natural language operator goals into schema-compliant NEF API configurations using a compact, locally deployed Large Language Model (LLM), Qwen3-4B (4 billion parameters). A deterministic pre-classification layer reserves LLM inference for semantically complex requests, while a six-stage pipeline produces near-deterministic, conflict-aware JSON output. Two complementary validation paths are provided: a Standard Mode with closed-loop Quality of Service (QoS) feedback via a NEF emulator, and a Free5GC Mode that validates the same translation logic against a Free5GC-based experimental environment with real user-plane traffic. Demonstration across five vertical scenarios confirms end-to-end correctness in both the emulated NEF environment and the Free5GC-based experimental environment.

Large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems have evolved from natural language tasks to using external tools to plan, retrieve, and act in technical domains. In smart grids, recent work applies agentic schemes to forecasting, optimization, and control, wrapping trusted solvers behind language interfaces and orchestrating multi-step workflows. The literature lacks a unified approach to designing and evaluating such systems. LLMs can produce numerically plausible yet physically infeasible outputs, evaluation protocols vary across tasks, and the boundary between what the model should and should not compute is implicit. This paper presents a solver-grounded design principle: a numerical result is reported only when it originates from a trusted tool and passes explicit verification. We review the building blocks of LLM and agentic AI systems for power systems: prompting strategies and agentic architectures. We instantiate the principle in four case studies: wind power forecasting, EV charging scheduling, power flow analysis, and contingency diagnosis, each comparing an LLM-only baseline against its solver-grounded counterpart on identical data and metrics. EVAgent reproduces the CVXPY optimum while reducing LLM-only unmet energy by 7.5-9.5x, and GridDebugAgent repairs 17/39 contingency cases while reducing total violations by 52.3%. We propose a four-group evaluation framework spanning task utility, solver-grounded correctness, faithfulness and safe failure, and cost and latency. A consistent division of labor emerges: the agentic system reliably orchestrates, retrieves, and explains, while trusted tools compute and a verification gate decides what is reported.

Onboard satellite intelligence requires a task layer that translates mission intent into local tool calls, exposes execution state, and returns machine-consumable artifacts under communication and power constraints. We present SAT-Edge-Agent, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) edge-agent system deployed on a commercial off-the-shelf ARM-based heterogeneous edge system-on-chip. A browser workspace and FastAPI agent coordinate a local OpenAI-compatible language service with a project-internal YOLO-style oriented-object-detection endpoint that returns FAIR1M metadata-backed structured results. Two fixed FAIR1M workloads, one single-image and one serial two-image request, were repeated 20 times each and completed 20/20 attempts. Mean Full-Agent latency was 29.353 s and 60.937 s, with empirical P95 values of 31.166 s and 66.882 s. Mean detector time was 861.386 ms and 1510.920 ms, only 2.93% and 2.48% of the corresponding Full-Agent means. Profiling indicates that most visible latency occurs outside detector execution. Mean CPU utilization was 20.761% and 20.482%. A 200-ms NPU-load field averaged 100% for both workloads, but it represents a shared-accelerator software field rather than detector-only occupancy or calibrated utilization. The public evidence package provides sanitized request-level records, redacted JSON, normalized SSE examples, and scripts reproducing the reported statistics. These results establish a reproducible HIL boundary for observable satellite edge-agent orchestration, but do not establish detector accuracy, a new geolocation method, calibrated energy efficiency, or flight readiness.
Real-time multimodal applications, including voice agents and interactive video generation, compose heterogeneous models into pipelines whose efficient deployment requires application-specific decisions about placement, streaming, and intra-model parallelism. Existing serving systems and auto-parallelism compilers commit to limited transformations and fixed workload assumptions, so achieving high performance on a new application requires hand-crafting an efficient implementation. We present FlashRT, an agent harness that guides coding agents to lift simple developer-written reference implementations into optimized multi-GPU deployments that flexibly weigh target metrics like latency and throughput. Using a new chain-of-program paradigm, FlashRT directs a generic coding agent through a multi-pass transformation process where an agent transforms the reference into an intermediate representation (IR) to capture data dependencies and persistent-state scopes, validates this IR via a sequential interpreter, and performs static analyses to identify candidate transformations. Then, the agent iteratively implements, verifies, and benchmarks each candidate under a measurement-gated optimization loop to produce effective deployments that span different hardware budgets. Across various applications, including video world models and multimodal LLMs, FlashRT converts reference implementations into highly efficient deployments, delivering up to ~70x latency reduction and 2.8x throughput improvement on NVIDIA B200 GPUs. On AMD MI355X GPUs, FlashRT matches the peak latency reduction while increasing peak throughput improvement to 3.6x, demonstrating that agent-driven optimization can be more scalable on platforms with less mature expert optimization. In fact, for Qwen3-Omni text-to-audio inference, FlashRT reduces response latency by 65% compared to the expert vLLM-Omni implementation on AMD MI355X.

Swarms of LLM-assisted autonomous robots are increasingly proposed for cooperative intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) in contested environments. A growing class of their assurance failures arises not within any single platform but across the swarm: individually-compliant actions compose into a mission-level violation: a prohibited objective split across platforms to evade per-platform lim- its, or a collective budget quietly exceeded. Per-platform guardrails miss these by construction, and contested communications let the violation hide behind lost or delayed evidence. We present a three-tier (platfor- m/squad/mission) compositional runtime-verification framework that de- composes a mission policy into per-agent and cross-agent aspects, aggre- gates per-platform verdicts over a verification-aware messaging fabric, and fuses them with an evidence-aware, two-axis (security x complete- ness) algebra whose provenance names the platforms that jointly trig- gered a violation. Because the fabric makes evidence loss and silence observable, unsupported negative verdicts are downgraded to an explicit unknown rather than reported as mission-wide all-clears. On a simulated ISR mission, an indirect prompt injection that causes real LLM planners to split a prohibited collection task across four platforms is invisible to every per-platform monitor yet detected compositionally with full prove- nance; under an injected fault campaign a best-effort central monitor emits silent false all-clears while the verification-aware fabric emits none

Agentic systems — large language model (LLM)-based architectures capable of reasoning, planning, acting, and coordinating with tools and other agents — are rapidly transitioning from research prototypes to production-scale deployments across domains such as software engineering, scientific discovery, and finance. While academic work has emphasized benchmarks and algorithmic innovation, deployment raises new challenges around robustness, safety, and reliability. This tutorial brings together researchers and practitioners to explore advances in reasoning and planning, multi-agent coordination, and evaluation, highlighting open challenges arising from deployment experience. Through applied case studies in pharmaceutical discovery and financial systems, we analyze common design patterns that make agentic systems successful, and discuss practical mitigation strategies for failure modes, such as verification pipelines, fallback mechanisms, and human-in-the-loop supervision. Attendees will gain a comprehensive view of the field along with concrete design patterns, evaluation checklists, and templates for safe and reliable deployment across industries.
