Profile-Then-Reason: Bounded Semantic Complexity for Tool-Augmented Language Agents
Researchers introduce Profile-Then-Reason (PTR), a new framework for AI language agents that use external tools, which reduces computational overhead by pre-planning workflows rather than recomputing after each step. The approach limits language model calls to 2-3 times maximum and shows superior performance in 16 of 24 test configurations compared to reactive execution methods.
