CIFQA: A Deterministic Tool-Grounded Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Financial Query Answering

arXiv:2608.26114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Calculation-intensive financial question answering requires exact reasoning over structured rates, temporal conditions, numerical formulas, and rule-based constraints. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) perform strongly on natural language tasks, they often produce numerically incorrect yet plausible answers when solving multi-step financial calculations. To address this limitation, we introduce CIFQA (Calculation-Intensive Financial…

PICasso: An AI-Enabled Design Framework for Autonomous Optimization of Silicon Photonic Devices

arXiv:2608.26113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present PICasso, an AI-assisted framework for automated synthesis, verification, and optimization of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) from natural-language specifications. PICasso couples a structured NL -> YAML -> GDS generation pipeline with PDK aware knowledge injection, automated placement and routing, DRC/LVS validation, and SAX-based photonic simulation. To systematically evaluate AI-driven…
