• The Backdrop Exposes What the World Around an Agent Costs It

  Nusrat Jahan Lia, Shubhashis Roy Dipta · 1 October 2026

  Agent benchmarks test agents in worlds that stay still. Deployed agents work in worlds that other people also change. Someone texts the agent to send the money elsewhere or an order confirmation asks it to reply with a door code. We present BACKDROP, which asks how much of an agent's capability in a…

• AgBench: Agentic AI Benchmarks for Personal AI Devices

  Yizhou Han, Di Wu, Dhananjay Saikumar, Blesson Varghese · 1 October 2026

  Agentic AI systems increasingly rely on cloud-hosted large language models for planning, tool use, and iterative execution, raising concerns about API cost and data exposure. Advances in personal AI devices enable agents to execute locally, but limited resources on device may affect task success and…

• MCP Error Messages Written for Developers Hurt the Most Capable Agents Most

  Xiaonan Xu, Wenjing Wu · 30 September 2026

  Many Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers wrap web APIs built for human developers, and their error messages tell the reader to run a command, edit a configuration, open a web page or wait. Many agents that read them can only call the server's tools. In 150 widely used MCP servers, 949 of 3,001 erro…

• PhoneCLI: From App Interfaces to Callable Commands for Mobile Agents

  Yangqin Jiang, Lingrui Xu, Chao Huang · 29 September 2026

  Mobile GUI agents operate through a perception--action loop: at each step they screenshot the device, invoke a vision--language model (VLM), and emit an action. It is slow, costly, and brittle, yet most of what it does is navigation---and everyday navigation is static, ordered, and endlessly repeate…

• Same Tasks, Different Apps: Why Mobile GUI Agents Fail to Generalize?

  Tien Tran, Namho Koh, Daiki E. Matsunaga, Ayush Jain, Kee Eung Kim · 29 September 2026

  Mobile GUI agents deployed in real settings must work across different applications that support the same functionality. Most existing benchmarks test each task in only one app, so a high score can mean the agent understands the task, or only that it knows that particular app. We introduce AnyAppBen…

• On Device Agentic Operation Caches -- Classifier-Centric NL-to-Action Generation

  Moghis Fereidouni, Anthony Arnold, Sumit Gulwani, Mark Marron, A. B. Siddique · 29 September 2026

  Agentic AI is increasingly being embedded in software applications to provide natural language interfaces to features and functionality.

• MemAgent: Learning to Manage Heterogeneous Memory Providers for LLM Agents

  Yongxian Wei, Yilin Zhao, Runxi Cheng, Xinrui Chen, Chun Yuan, Yaoru Wang, Jiahong Yan, Dian Li · 29 September 2026

  Current agents remain largely stateless across tasks, limiting their ability to continually improve from prior interactions and making memory essential for long-horizon agentic behavior. Existing memory methods seek to reuse past experience, but most rely on a single memory representation (e.g., tra…

• Memory as Middleware for Self-Improving AI Agents

  K. R. Jayaram, Vatche Isahagian, Vinod Muthusamy, Gegi Thomas, Punleuk Oum, Gaodan Fang, Ashwath Vaithinathan Aravindan · 29 September 2026

  AI agents are stateless across sessions by default and therefore operationally amnesic: each session begins with little durable knowledge of prior failures, repairs, preferences, or successful strategies. As a result, agents repeat the same mistakes and discard hard-won experience. The dominant fix …

• A Safety-Bounded SDC-to-MCP Gateway for Medical AI Agents

  Bennet Gerlach, Stefan Fischer · 28 September 2026

  The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a common interface through which AI applications discover and use external resources and tools. It allows language-model agents to ground their reasoning in current system state and interact with heterogeneous services. In medical environments, however, expo…

• From Tapping to Hopping: Augmenting Mobile GUI Agents with App-Native Deeplinks

  Yuchen Sun, Chenglin Cai, Gongjie Zhang, Tianyu Xia, Quyu Kong, Panrong Tong, Zhengwen Zeng, Long Chen, Steven Hoi, Chongyang Zhang, Yue Wang · 28 September 2026

  Mobile GUI agents complete tasks using GUI actions like taps and swipes. These actions are broadly applicable across applications, but reaching a navigation interface. A single deeplink call can replace a sequence of screen-by-screen GUI actions. We therefore introduce hybrid interaction, using deep…

• AgentKernel: The Trust-Native Agentic Operating System

  Zhenhua Zou, Sheng Guo, Qiuyang Zhan, Lepeng Zhao, Shuo Li, Zhuotao Liu · 25 September 2026

  Modern AI agents routinely cross trust boundaries: they ingest untrusted content, combine it with privileged instructions, persist intermediate beliefs in long-term memory, and invoke privileged tools. This creates an attack surface in which malicious payloads can enter through model inputs and caus…

• Data Agents: Agentic Data Systems

  Guoliang Li, Peiyao Zhou, Xuanhe Zhou, Ji Sun, Yuyu Luo, Ju Fan · 22 September 2026

  Traditional data systems face profound limitations in the AI era, relying on human-crafted pipelines, lacking semantic understanding of heterogeneous data, and operating through rigid, reactive processing. To address these challenges, we propose a new paradigm called the Data Agent, designed to mana…

• AgentRouter: Heterogeneous Model Routing for Cost-Optimal Multi-Step Agentic Workflows

  Rudrendu Kumar Paul, Sourav Nandy · 22 September 2026

  Enterprise agentic systems that route every trajectory step to a frontier model waste 60-80% of their inference budget on subtasks that smaller models handle equally well. Existing routing solutions optimize single-turn query assignment but ignore a property unique to agentic workflows: subtask comp…

  As telecommunication networks evolve toward autonomous 5G-Advanced and 6G operations, agentic artificial intelligence (AI) workflows, where large language models (LLMs) execute multi-step reasoning, invoke diagnostic tools, retrieve domain knowledge, and coordinate across agent teams, are increasing…

• SMetric: Rethink LLM Scheduling for Serving Agents with Balanced Session-centric Scheduling

  Jiahao Wang, Kaizhan Lin, Kaixi Zhang, Jinbo Han, Xingda Wei, Sijie Shen, Chenguang Fang, Wenyuan Yu, Rong Chen, Haibo Chen · 16 September 2026

  LLM scheduling is critical to serving, yet how well existing designs fit agentic serving--where agents, not humans, issue the requests--remains unclear. Agents shift the workload in two ways: they consume many more tokens than humans, so the cluster must provide high throughput (TPS) at low latency;…
