Agentic programs merge LLMs with algorithms for scientific software

A new paper introduces the concept of "agentic programs," a novel type of scientific software that integrates deterministic algorithms with Large Language Model (LLM)-based judgment. These programs aim to combine computational precision with human-like decision-making capabilities. The paper illustrates this concept using DeMARS, an agentic program designed to generate atomistic models from experimental disordered crystal structures. AI

    Agentic programs: an emerging form of scientific software in computational materials science

    arXiv:2609.00795v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational materials science has traditionally delegated algorithmic tasks to computers while leaving scientific judgments to humans. We argue that recent LLM-based agent harnesses enable an emerging form of scientific software…
