The paper titled 'Evoflux: Inference-Time Evolution of Executable Tool Workflows for Compact Agents' was published on June 12, 2026, in ArXiv AI.

It discusses how compact language models can significantly reduce costs, latency, and deployment risks associated with tool agents.

However, the authors argue that effective tool utilization requires agents to discover and employ tools beyond mere function calling.
