LLM-Powered Agentic AI for 5G/6G Networks: A Tutorial and Survey on Architectures, Protocols, and Standardization

Mazene Ameur, Abdelkader Mekrache, Bouziane Brik, Adlen Ksentini

his paper introduces Agentic AI, powered by LLMs, as a novel approach for autonomous control of 5G/6G networks, moving beyond traditional rule-based automation. It bridges the gap in existing research by detailing how agentic capabilities can be integrated with network control planes, protocols, and standardization efforts. The contribution lies in providing a comprehensive framework and survey for developing and deploying these intelligent, goal-driven network agents.

Overview. (a) We introduce a synthetic framework for studying reasoning from pretraining to post-training in the chess domain. (b) Using this framework, we establish a joint pretraining–RL scaling law, showing that pretraining performance provides predictive signal for RL performance under a fixed compute budget. (c) Through mechanistic analysis of policy evolution, we show that RL can surface moves that were nearly absent under the SFT policy.

Understanding Reasoning from Pretraining to Post-Training

Jingyan Shen, Ang Li et al.

This paper investigates how pretraining choices influence the effectiveness of reinforcement learning (RL) for improving large language model (LLM) reasoning. Using chess as a controlled environment, the authors demonstrate that pretraining scale and data sign…

QUADS: Stabilizing NVFP4 Reinforcement Learning for MoE via QUantization-error Alignment across Dual Sides

Zhengyang Zhuge, Hao Yu et al.

This paper addresses the instability of using low-precision NVFP4 for Reinforcement Learning (RL) rollouts in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. The core method, QUADS, stabilizes NVFP4 RL by aligning quantization errors between the rollout and training processe…

Naive NVFP4 collapse in RL. (a) Mean training reward: naive NVFP4 W4A4 rollout with BF16 training (blue) peaks near step 150 and then collapses, whereas the BF16 RL baseline (red) continues to improve steadily. (b) Held-out test score shows the same pattern, confirming that the failure is not limited to the training reward signal. (c) Log-probability difference between the NVFP4 rollout engine and the BF16 trainer diverges extremely, indicating a severe training–inference mismatch that importance sampling cannot correct.
