Title: Lost in Code Generation: Reimagining the Role of Software Models in AI-driven Software Engineering
Authors: Jürgen Cito, Dominik Bork,
Abstract summary: We argue that this shift motivates a reimagining of software models.<n>Rather than serving only as upfront blueprints, models can be recovered post-hoc from AI-generated code.<n>In this role, models serve as mediators between human intent, AI generation, and long-term system evolution.

Abstract: Generative AI enables rapid ``vibe coding," where natural language prompts yield working software systems. While this lowers barriers to software creation, it also collapses the boundary between prototypes and engineered software, leading to fragile systems that lack robustness, security, and maintainability. We argue that this shift motivates a reimagining of software models. Rather than serving only as upfront blueprints, models can be recovered post-hoc from AI-generated code to restore comprehension, expose risks, and guide refinement. In this role, models serve as mediators between human intent, AI generation, and long-term system evolution, providing a path toward sustainable AI-driven software engineering.

Grounded Decoding: Guiding Text Generation with Grounded Models for Embodied Agents [111.15288256221764]
Grounded-decoding project aims to solve complex, long-horizon tasks in a robotic setting by leveraging the knowledge of both models. We frame this as a problem similar to probabilistic filtering: decode a sequence that both has high probability under the language model and high probability under a set of grounded model objectives. We demonstrate how such grounded models can be obtained across three simulation and real-world domains, and that the proposed decoding strategy is able to solve complex, long-horizon tasks in a robotic setting by leveraging the knowledge of both models.
