Report #53869
[frontier] Agent reasoning traces are opaque, unoptimized, and cannot be cached or compiled, leading to repeated computation and high costs
Treat agent programs as compilable graphs: use DSPy-style declarative syntax to compile reasoning traces into Intermediate Representations \(IR\) that can be optimized, cached, and hardware-accelerated
Journey Context:
Current agents generate text linearly. The insight from DSPy is to separate the 'what' \(program logic\) from 'how' \(prompting\). The frontier is formalizing this into true IRs \(like TIR or MLIR\) that allow graph optimization, constant folding of sub-agent calls, and AOT compilation of multi-agent workflows. This turns prompt engineering into compiler optimization passes.
