Agents in the Wild: Where Research Meets Deployment

Tutorial paper surveys agentic LLM systems from research to production deployment

A tutorial paper from arXiv surveys the transition of LLM-based agentic systems from research prototypes to production deployments across software engineering, scientific discovery, and finance. The work covers reasoning and planning, multi-agent coordination, and evaluation, with applied case studies in pharmaceutical discovery and financial systems. It identifies common design patterns for successful deployments and practical mitigation strategies for failure modes including verification pipelines, fallback mechanisms, and human-in-the-loop supervision.
