Researchers have developed Mimir, a novel LLM agent designed for long-horizon physical control tasks, specifically focusing on irrigation management. Mimir operates on two repair timescales: a fast loop for numerical checking and revision of LLM outputs before execution, and a slow loop for consolidating recurrent failure patterns into persistent contextual principles. This approach allows the agent to improve from experience without altering fundamental physical rules. In evaluations across various sites, crops, and years, Mimir achieved the lowest aggregate control cost, using approximately 51% less irrigation than historical schedules. Studies indicated that larger LLM sizes did not yield monotonic gains in performance, suggesting that specialized agent architecture is more critical than model scale for such applications. AI
