That is a problem for companies that cannot send internal workflows and data to external services. The authors ask whether open-source LLMs can match closed models at turning natural-language goals into executable API calls without heavy human effort. 2. **[Agentic Context Engineering: Evolving Contexts for Self-Improving Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-agentic-context-engineering-evolving-contexts/)** *(2025 · 39 citations)* LLM systems such as agents and domain-specific reasoners often improve by changing their input context rather than their weights. 3. **[CORAL: Towards Autonomous Multi-Agent Evolution for Open-Ended Discovery](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qu-2026-coral-towards-autonomous-multi-agent/)** *(2026 · 9 citations)* LLM-driven evolutionary systems such as FunSearch and AlphaEvolve search for better programs on problems where the optimum is unknown. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Changran Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/changran-hu/) ×2 - [Bo Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-li/) - [Chen Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chen-wu/) - [Han Zheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/han-zheng/) - [James Zou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/james-zou/) - [Jian Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jian-zhang/) - [Qiantong Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qiantong-xu/) - [Urmish Thakker](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/urmish-thakker/) - [Yihong Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yihong-tang/) - [Zhengyu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhengyu-chen/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 127 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [46 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fenglu-hong/cited-by/).
