This work presents VeraGrid-Agent, a tool-augmented LLM that autonomously writes the simulator input, executes the open-source VeraGrid solver, and reads the solver output before answering, and does a failure-mode analysis to show that the few remaining errors arise from wrong interpretations during multi-step reasoning, rather than any failure in the simulators execution.
Abstract
Language models have demonstrated remarkable success in solving a wide range of tasks. However, answering complex scientific questions about the power flow often requires solving the distribution optimal power flow (D-OPF) problem. These questions call for numerical solvers and simulators, as linguistic reasoning from parametric knowledge often gives incorrect answers. In this work, we present VeraGrid-Agent, a tool-augmented LLM that autonomously writes the simulator input, executes the open-source VeraGrid solver, and reads the solver output before answering. To evaluate performance, we introduce VeraGrid-MCQ-150, a set of deterministic, expert template driven, $150$ multiple-choice questions. We evaluate the performance under two regimes: (i) no-tool reasoning and (ii) agent (LLM with simulator access). Without tools, every model performs with an accuracy of $42.7\%$--$49.3\%$. However, with VeraGrid-Agent, accuracy increases to $97.3\%$--$100.0\%$. We also do a failure-mode analysis to show that the few remaining errors arise from wrong interpretations during multi-step reasoning, rather than any failure in the simulators execution.
AgentWeave is introduced, a deterministic pre-inference routing layer that constructs a bounded model-visible action space using eligibility, requirement, capability, and routing signals and shows lower mean local-model latency.

A solver-grounded design principle is presented: a numerical result is reported only when it originates from a trusted tool and passes explicit verification, and a four-group evaluation framework spanning task utility, solver-grounded correctness, faithfulness and safe failure, and cost and latency is proposed.

Complex systems, core objects of study in artificial life, model diverse phenomena through nonlinear, feedback-driven interactions that produce emergent behavior, with applications from population dynamics and biology to economic policy and strategic decision-making. Yet the difficulty of predicting how feedback structure gives rise to emergent behavior, a central open problem in artificial life, makes goal-directed design exceptionally challenging. In established practice, system structures are written in specialized modeling languages such as DYNAMO or STELLA, compounding the challenge with labor-intensive workflows that limit adoption and hinder timely decision-making. To address these challenges, we introduce CEDAR, an autonomous method that uses Large Language Model (LLM) agents to discover complex systems satisfying user-specified behavioral goals. Our key innovation is an LLM-driven Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) deeply coupled with complex systems: at each iteration, an LLM Judge evaluates emergent behavior against specified goals and an LLM Editor proposes improved variants, with the Judge acting as a fitness function and the Editor as a variation operator, akin to a generate-and-evaluate loop in evolutionary computation. We represent complex systems as a restricted, runnable subset of Python with domain-specific primitives, letting LLMs modify system dynamics directly. CEDAR formalizes this as an MCTS variant with an LLM-parameterized transition kernel and value function, enabling goal-directed discovery of complex system behaviors while preserving solution diversity, and its LLM-based interpretability reveals how structural changes drive emergent behavior. CEDAR reduces human effort while enabling capabilities difficult to achieve with existing approaches, facilitating broader adoption of complex systems across domains.
