Source : MIT Technology Review AIIndustrial AI is entering a new phase. After decades of predictive analytics and other specialized applications, advances in foundation models, physical AI, and agentic AI are making it possible to automate more complex tasks across industrial environments. But unlike AI that operates purely in the digital world, industrial AI can interact directly with physical systems,…
Connecting AI agents to enterprise knowledge
Source : MIT Technology Review AIFor all the data that AI systems continually amass and analyze, enterprise AI agents often suffer from a curious shortcoming: a lack of knowledge. More than data, knowledge is the understanding of what the data means in the context of individual organizations. AI agents need this understanding to reason about situations, make decisions, and ultimately…
Bringing predictive analytics to the agentic AI era
Source : MIT Technology Review AIIn 2026, the question for enterprise AI is no longer whether predictive models can outperform statistical forecasts—that argument is settled. The big question now is how to enable predictive systems to act on their own conclusions without drifting from business intent. The frontier has moved from prediction to autonomous decision making, and the gap between…

CANDO: Cooperative Agentic Network for Layout Design Optimization
Source : arXiv Multi-Agent SystemsarXiv:2610.10044v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Layout generation for real-world facilities is a challenging problem, requiring reasoning over irregular site boundaries, heterogeneous orientations, access-aware placements, and motion-planning feasibility. Yet, most existing layout benchmarks in the generative AI space target simpler placements over rectangular domains and rely on distributional metrics such as FID and IoU that reward conformity to dataset priors, thus discounting design innovation. Motivated by these gaps, we introduce ALPS-Bench, a benchmark of $1,000$ professionally annotated real-world facility layouts paired with an instance-specific scoring protocol grounded in a structured design manual. As a strong baseline for ALPS-Bench, we propose CANDO, a training-free multi-agent framework in which specialized agents iteratively refine layouts through a verification-grounded loop, concentrating reasoning on strategic spatial decisions. We demonstrate that CANDO surpasses s
The Cost of Classical Multi-Agent Path Finding
Source : arXiv Multi-Agent SystemsarXiv:2610.10100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is the problem of planning conflict-free paths for multiple agents in a shared space, each from its start to its goal. Classical MAPF has been the dominant formulation for many years, with its assumptions of discrete time and graph-based conflicts presumably easing the search for solutions. These assumptions limit the physical environments and agents for which a solution is truly collision-free, and also place an upper bound on solution quality that no algorithmic improvements can lift. This work investigates how much solution quality, and in what contexts, the classical MAPF formulation forfeits. Continuous-time MAPF (MAPF$_R$) relaxes these assumptions, making it a natural counter-formulation to compare against across various agent counts and sizes, and graph connectedness, topologies, and resolutions. We find that continuous time and agent shape consideration are worth relatively little on their own; th
Know the Shape, Find the Fault: Topology-Conditioned Diagnosis of Multi-Agent LLM Failures
Source : arXiv Multi-Agent SystemsarXiv:2610.10126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems coordinate task execution through exchanges of information among agents. When coordination breaks down, similar symptoms in execution traces can reflect different problems in how information is passed, used, or verified. Communication topology captures how agents exchange information and provides structural cues for distinguishing coordination failure modes. Using these cues for diagnosis requires establishing how topology relates to failure patterns and recovering the relevant structure from execution traces that lack explicit topology labels. We analyze the relationship between communication topology and failure patterns and introduce MAScope, a two-stage framework for topology-conditioned diagnosis. Its Trace Structural Extractor TSE recovers communication topology from heterogeneous execution traces by grounding an interaction graph in message evidence. The Topology-Conditioned Judge TC-Judge then classifies f
GAMEGO: Training Game-Dev Agents with Synthetic Trajectories Anchored in Real-World Assets
Source : arXiv Artificial IntelligencearXiv:2610.06910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in web front-end execution, with browser-based game generation emerging as a particularly prominent frontier. While previous efforts frequently rely on complex multi-turn workflows or focus on static game evaluation benchmarks, this work targets direct end-to-end real-world game synthesis driven by coding agents. However, generating complex games directly from sparse user queries often forces coding agents to make underspecified assumptions, yielding incomplete mechanics, disconnected gameplay flows, and limited visual aesthetics. To resolve this issue, this paper presents GameGo, a scalable framework that systematically transforms brief game seeds into comprehensive Product Requirements Documents grounded in industry game-development practices. To retain core gameplay constraints without restricting design exploration, GameGo uses task-specific dyn
Text2Dashboard: A Governed Agent Architecture for Natural-Language Dashboard Generation over Enterprise DataBrain
Source : arXiv Artificial IntelligencearXiv:2610.06914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text2Dashboard is a DataBrain-specific prototype that turns natural-language analytic requests into inspectable dashboards. An installable Codex plugin and standalone Agent Runtime combine schema-constrained model decisions with typed tools, persistent state, and deterministic Hooks for approval, audit, checkpointing, recovery, and failure handling. The pipeline resolves entities, discovers metadata, enforces read-only SQL, composes dashboards, and applies static checks, dynamic preflight, and browser inspection. The model proposes actions while deterministic software controls execution and records state transitions. We evaluate the workflow on frozen real-DataBrain tasks and controlled Hook faults. Strict success was 6/8 on metadata and SQL tasks: metadata selection passed 4/4, all four SQL tasks met semantic criteria, and 2/4 met the exact output-column contract. The final release passed 4/4 single-panel dashboard tasks, one two-pane
RadOnc-Agent: An LLM-Orchestrated Framework for AI Workflows Across the Radiotherapy Care Pathway
Source : arXiv Artificial IntelligencearXiv:2610.06923v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial intelligence has advanced individual radiotherapy tasks, yet these capabilities remain separated across clinical stages, software environments and data modalities. This fragmentation contrasts with the longitudinal radiotherapy workflow from treatment decision-making through follow-up. Here we present RadOnc-Agent, an agentic artificial-intelligence framework that formalizes radiotherapy into four clinical phases and provides 26 callable functions through a conversational interface. A large-language-model controller maps clinical intent to schema-constrained calls, preserves patient and workflow context, and routes requests to specialist services. We evaluated system execution using 2,600 single-function requests (7,800 repeat executions), 200 prespecified synthetic cross-stage scenarios spanning four phases (600 executions), and 120 workflow instances from 60 de-identified patient records (360 clean executions) representing d
