EvoX: Meta-Evolution for Automated Discovery
Shu Liu, Shubham Agarwal, Monishwaran Maheswaran +14
Recent work such as AlphaEvolve has shown that combining LLM-driven optimization with evolutionary search can effectively improve programs, prompts, and algorithms across domains.…
FrontierCS: Evolving Challenges for Evolving Intelligence
Qiuyang Mang, Wenhao Chai, Zhifei Li +48
We introduce FrontierCS, a benchmark of 156 open-ended problems across diverse areas of computer science, designed and reviewed by experts, including CS PhDs and top-tier competiti…
Barbarians at the Gate: How AI is Upending Systems Research
Audrey Cheng, Shu Liu, Melissa Pan +14
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to transform the research process as we know it by automating the discovery of new solutions. Given a task, the typical AI-driven approach…
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…
Establishing Best Practices for Building Rigorous Agentic Benchmarks
Yuxuan Zhu, Tengjun Jin, Yada Pruksachatkun +22
Benchmarks are essential for quantitatively tracking progress in AI. As AI agents become increasingly capable, researchers and practitioners have introduced agentic benchmarks to e…
SkyStore: Cost-Optimized Object Storage Across Regions and Clouds
Shu Liu, Xiangxi Mo, Moshik Hershcovitch +11
Modern applications span multiple clouds to reduce costs, avoid vendor lock-in, and leverage low-availability resources in another cloud. However, standard object stores operate wi…
LLMs Can Easily Learn to Reason from Demonstrations Structure, not content, is what matters!
Dacheng Li, Shiyi Cao, Tyler Griggs +9
Large reasoning models (LRMs) tackle complex reasoning problems by following long chain-of-thoughts (Long CoT) that incorporate reflection, backtracking, and self-validation. Howev…
The Danger of Overthinking: Examining the Reasoning-Action Dilemma in Agentic Tasks
Alejandro Cuadron, Dacheng Li, Wenjie Ma +13
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) represent a breakthrough in AI problem-solving capabilities, but their effectiveness in interactive environments can be limited. This paper introduces…
vCache: Verified Semantic Prompt Caching
Luis Gaspar Schroeder, Aditya Desai, Alejandro Cuadron +7
Semantic caches return cached responses for semantically similar prompts to reduce LLM inference latency and cost. They embed cached prompts and store them alongside their response…
