abstract

This survey paper examines the recent advancements in AI agent implementations, with a focus on their ability to achieve complex goals that require enhanced reasoning, planning, and tool execution capabilities. The primary objectives of this work are to a) communicate the current capabilities and limitations of existing AI agent implementations, b) share insights gained from our observations of these systems in action, and c) suggest important considerations for future developments in AI agent design. We achieve this by providing overviews of single-agent and multi-agent architectures, identifying key patterns and divergences in design choices, and evaluating their overall impact on accomplishing a provided goal. Our contribution outlines key themes when selecting an agentic architecture, the impact of leadership on agent systems, agent communication styles, and key phases for planning, execution, and reflection that enable robust AI agent systems.

FP-Agent: Fingerprinting AI Browsing Agents

cs.CR · 2026-05-02 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Behavioral fingerprints distinguish AI browsing agents from humans and each other, enabling superior detection compared to current bot systems.

GRAFT: Graph-Tokenized LLMs for Tool Planning

cs.LG · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

GRAFT internalizes tool dependency graphs via dedicated special tokens in LLMs and applies on-policy context distillation to achieve higher exact sequence matching and dependency legality than prior external-graph methods.

Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI

cs.AI · 2025-06-02 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Small language models are sufficiently capable, more suitable, and far more economical than large models for the repetitive tasks that dominate agentic AI systems.
