Title:LLM Agents Factory: Retrieval of Domain-Specific LLM Agents

Abstract:Large language model (LLM) agents improve task performance by decomposing problems into role-specialized behaviors. However, their practical deployment is often limited by the computational cost and instability associated with the on-the-fly agent design for each user request. To address this, we present LLM Agents Factory, a retrieval-based framework that constructs domain-specific and Wikipedia-grounded agents on demand using a base of over 20K predetermined agent profiles. Our framework supports two modes: (1) agent profile retrieval via semantic search and (2) distillation into a compact model fine-tuned for direct agent generation. Experiments on MMLU, BIG-bench, and BIG-bench Hard in a single-agent scenario demonstrate that our retrieval-based agent construction surpasses non-agent baselines in accuracy while matching AutoGen generation quality with a 120B backbone at a substantially lower inference cost. Our work reveals that retrieval from a structured agent repository provides a cost-efficient, accurate, and controllable alternative to dynamic agent generation, responding to the strict demands of industrial applications.
