Claude Opus 5.5 visual
LLMs / Agentic AI/13 min read/Sep 22, 2026

Opus 5.5

Opus 5.5 is a 1M-context, adaptive-thinking model optimized for long-running agents. The release’s standout theme is cost-adjusted capability: stronger task completion with lower per-token prices, lower token consumption, and faster generation, alongside production safeguards for high-risk workloads.

Read this to understand what changed from Opus 5 to Opus 5.5, how to interpret the benchmark and cost numbers, what adaptive thinking means operationally, and which production agent architectures benefit from lower token and tool-call overhead.

Budget-Aware Tool Use Enables Effective Agent Scaling visual
AI Agents/12 min read/Aug 17, 2026

BATS

Agent scaling is not just more tokens or tool calls; agents must know and strategically allocate their remaining budget.

Read this if you design production agents where latency, API spend, tool-call limits, and verification quality must be controlled together.

ToolGrad: Efficient Tool-use Dataset Generation with Textual “Gradients” visual
AI Agents/10 min read/Jun 17, 2026

ToolGrad

Generate the successful tool-use workflow first, then synthesize the user query around it.

Read this if you build function-calling agents, tool routers, agent training pipelines, or synthetic-data systems.

Zhongyi Zhou, Kohei Uehara, Haoyu Zhang

ReasoningBank: Scaling Agent Self-Evolving with Reasoning Memory visual
AI Agents/12 min read/Mar 16, 2026

ReasoningBank

ReasoningBank turns agent successes and failures into reusable reasoning strategies that improve future tasks without updating model weights.

Read this if you are designing agent memory, long-running agents, test-time learning, or systems that need to improve from operational experience.

Siru Ouyang, Jun Yan, I-Hung Hsu

Towards autonomous medical artificial intelligence agents visual
AI Agents/14 min read/Jun 17, 2026

MIRA

MIRA is an autonomous medical agent evaluated in a sandboxed EHR workflow with tools for diagnosis, testing, treatment, and admission decisions.

Relevant to enterprise agent design because the system combines an LLM, many tools, structured APIs, safety evaluation, and workflow state.

Dyke Ferber, Lars Hilgers, Christiane Höper

Agentic Reasoning: Reasoning LLMs with Tools for the Deep Research visual
AI Agents/12 min read/Feb 7, 2025

Agentic Reasoning

A tool-using agent framework that extends LLM reasoning with web search, coding, and structured reasoning memory for deep research tasks.

Useful for understanding how deep-research agents combine model reasoning with tools and structured intermediate state.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Large Language Models: A Survey visual
RAG/15 min read/Dec 18, 2023

RAG Survey

A systematic survey organizing RAG architectures, training strategies, applications, evaluation, and open challenges.

Best used as a map of the RAG design space before diving into individual retrieval and generation papers.

Yunfan Gao, Yun Xiong, Xinyu Gao
