Title: SAGA: Workflow-Atomic Scheduling for AI Agent Inference on GPU Clusters

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.00528v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents execute tens to hundreds of chained LLM calls per task, yet GPU schedulers treat each call as independent, discarding gigabytes of intermediate state between steps and inflating end-to-end latency by 3-8x. We argue that this request-level abstraction is fundamentally mismatched to compound AI workloads, and propose a shift to program-level scheduling: treating the entire agent workflow (not individual inference calls) as the first-class
