arXiv: 'Agentic Software' Argues AI Agents Are Restructuring What Software Is

arXiv·low signal

Revised June 10 (arXiv:2606.05608, v2), this paper contends that systems where an LLM is the primary reasoning engine — dynamically generating and discarding code as an instrumental resource — constitute a fundamental restructuring of the software paradigm rather than a tooling upgrade. It frames code as ephemeral scaffolding under a reasoning core. A conceptual companion to the week's 'loopcraft' and 'agent labs' discussions about where durable engineering value moves next.
