abstract
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have driven a revolutionary paradigm shift in process automation from Robotic Process Automation to Agentic Process Automation by automating the workflow orchestration procedure based on LLMs. However, existing LLMs (even the advanced OpenAI GPT-4o) are confined to achieving satisfactory capability in workflow orchestration. To address this limitation, we present WorkflowLLM, a data-centric framework elaborately designed to enhance the capability of LLMs in workflow orchestration. It first constructs a large-scale fine-tuning dataset WorkflowBench with 106,763 samples, covering 1,503 APIs from 83 applications across 28 categories. Specifically, the construction process can be divided into three phases: (1) Data Collection: we collect real-world workflow data from Apple Shortcuts and RoutineHub, transcribing them into Python-style code. We further equip them with generated hierarchical thought via ChatGPT. (2) Query Expansion: we prompt ChatGPT to generate more task queries to enrich the diversity and complexity of workflows. (3) Workflow Generation: we leverage an annotator model trained on collected data to generate workflows for synthesized queries. Finally, we merge the synthetic samples that pass quality confirmation with the collected samples to obtain the WorkflowBench. Based on WorkflowBench, we fine-tune Llama-3.1-8B to obtain WorkflowLlama. Our experiments show that WorkflowLlama demonstrates a strong capacity to orchestrate complex workflows, while also achieving notable generalization performance on previously unseen APIs. Additionally, WorkflowBench exhibits robust zero-shot generalization capabilities on an out-of-distribution task planning dataset, T-Eval. Our data and code are available at https://github.com/OpenBMB/WorkflowLLM.

StickyInvoc introduces sticky tasks that load LLM model state once and invocation tasks that reuse it, yielding 3.6x speedup on a 150k-inference workflow.
LEMON trains an LLM orchestrator with counterfactual-augmented GRPO to produce deployable multi-agent specifications that reach state-of-the-art results on six reasoning and coding benchmarks.
Agentic safety fails to generalize across tasks because the task-to-safe-controller mapping has a higher Lipschitz constant than the task-to-controller mapping alone, as proven in linear-quadratic control and demonstrated in quadcopter and LLM experiments.
A real-world industrial benchmark and agentic baseline show current LLMs often fail to produce correct, stable, deployable visual workflows from natural language, with only modest resolve-rate gains.
A conceptual model proposes representing LLM workflow definitions, instances, and inference records as persistent typed objects in a shared knowledge substrate, distinguishing deterministic derive from LLM-mediated infer.
Compiling agentic workflows into LLM weights creates subterranean agents with near-frontier quality at two orders of magnitude less cost, validated empirically on travel booking, Zoom support, and insurance claims tasks.
A systems-level data model for preserving typed, addressable, versioned, and dependency-aware intermediate artifacts in agentic AI systems to improve long-term inspectability and maintainability.
Execution lineage models AI-native work as a DAG of computations with explicit dependencies, achieving perfect state preservation in controlled update tasks where loop-based agents introduce churn and contamination.
Compiled AI generates deterministic code artifacts from LLMs in a one-time compilation step, enabling reliable workflow execution with zero runtime tokens after break-even.
