LLM-based Agentic Reasoning Frameworks: A Survey from Methods to Scenarios

Excerpt

arXiv:2508.17692v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in LLM-based agents highlight the importance of their reasoning frameworks, which guide the problem-solving process in diverse ways. This survey introduces a unified formal language to systematically categorize these frameworks at three compositional levels: single-agent, tool-based, and multi-agent methods. Following our taxonomy, we review key application scenarios across scientific discovery, healthcare, software engineering,
