OpenClaw and Ollama in Agentic AI: Toward Fully Autonomous and Scalable AI Agent Systems
Abstract: The rapid transition from reactive large language models (LLMs) to persistent, action-capable systems has exposed critical gaps in the architectural understanding of Agentic AI, particularly in separating inference, orchestration, and execution layers for autonomous AI agents. Despite recent advances, unified frameworks for designing and evaluating full-stack agentic systems remain limited. This paper presents a comprehensive, layered architecture for Agentic AI, outlining the evolution from reactive LLM interfaces to persistent, goal-driven autonomous AI agents with memory, planning, and continuous execution. We analyze OpenClaw and Ollama as a full-stack Agentic AI system, where Ollama serves as the LLM inference layer and OpenClaw enables agent runtime orchestration, integrating reasoning, tool use, and action execution. A prototype experimental validation of the OpenClaw-Ollama architecture demonstrates that capabilities such as persistent memory, tool utilization, and adaptive decision-making emerge from system-level integration rather than standalone models, with performance improving consistently as architectural complexity increases. The study further examines challenges in scalability, security, privacy, governance, and evaluation of agentic systems, highlighting the need for robust benchmarking and system-level design. Future directions include scalable multi-agent architectures, distributed autonomous systems, and human-aware Agentic AI frameworks for responsible deployment. Overall, this work establishes a unified architectural foundation for Agentic AI, validates the effectiveness of full-stack autonomous AI agents, and provides a roadmap for building scalable, secure, and trustworthy agentic systems. All models, code, and datasets are publicly released to support reproducibility and benchmarking.

All newsTAPR: Enhancing LLM Performance with a Task-Aware Prompt Rewriter
Large Language Models (LLMs) often require carefully crafted prompts to unlock their full potential, which can be a barrier for non-expert users. This work addresses the challenge by introducing a Task-Aware Prompt Rewriter (TAPR), a model that reformulates user prompts into task-optimized prompts with the explicit goal of improving downstream LLM performance. We train TAPR using reinforcement learning with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), where rewards are derived from LLM-as-judge evaluations of both the reformulated prompt and the corresponding task output. Experimental results o…

Long chain-of-thought reasoning improves performance on complex problems, but it also introduces redundancy accumulation, context overflow, and error anchoring. We argue that under bounded context windows, the core bottleneck is not trajectory compression or test-time control, but the absence of a reusable intermediate interface that can replace discarded history and support continued solving. We further identify a key failure mode of outcome-reward-driven long-chain reinforcement learning: when the model has not solved the task before the window is nearly exhausted, the final-answer reward e…

AI Scientist systems capable of autonomous research have the potential to significantly accelerate scientific discovery. However, evaluating and comparing the quality of AI-generated papers remains an open challenge. We propose and implement a rigorous benchmarking protocol using an automated peer-review system that harnesses frontier large language models to assess scientific papers across four core dimensions: originality, scientific rigor, clarity, and significance. We evaluate four leading AI Scientist frameworks: \textit{Sakana AI (v1 & v2)}, \textit{CycleResearcher}, and \textit{Data-to…
Read at arXiv cs.AIReasoning in Real World Clinical Care: Why Large Language Models Are Not Yet Safe for Autonomous Clinical Decision Support
LLM now pass medical licensing examinations and, in curated cases, can rival physicians at diagnostic reasoning. These developments have accelerated the use of LLMs for symptom assessment and clinical decision support in diagnostic and treatment guidance, administrative documentation, and rules-based alert enhancement. This Perspective concerns the most consequential of these applications: the autonomous triage of self-presenting, undifferentiated patients, with little or no clinician in the loop. For that task, the evidence of safety does not yet exist. The gap is not in medical knowledge bu…
