Fantastic Adaptive Taxonomies and How to Use Them
Mert Cemri, Andrei Cojocaru, Melissa Pan +9
An agent system's execution traces record how it fails, and procedures that improve such a system without changing model weights (trajectory selection, prompt and workflow optimiza…
The Time is Here for Just-in-Time Systems: Challenges and Opportunities
Shu Liu, Alexander Krentsel, Shubham Agarwal +8
Core systems like key-value stores have historically taken years to build, and are designed to be general so as to amortize cost across deployments, paying a significant performanc…
Inductive Deductive Synthesis: Enabling AI to Generate Formally Verified Systems
Shubham Agarwal, Alexander Krentsel, Shu Liu +10
AI agents increasingly excel at generating, testing, and refining code. However, they fall short on tasks requiring formal guarantees of full coverage that testing alone cannot pro…
Let the Barbarians In: How AI Can Accelerate Systems Performance Research
Audrey Cheng, Shu Liu, Melissa Pan +18
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to transform the research process by automating the discovery of new solutions. This shift depends on the availability of reliable verifie…
Supporting Our AI Overlords: Redesigning Data Systems to be Agent-First
Shu Liu, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Shreya Shankar +12
Large Language Model (LLM) agents, acting on their users' behalf to manipulate and analyze data, are likely to become the dominant workload for data systems in the future. When wor…
