A new research paper explores the use of autonomous AI agents in supply chain management, utilizing the MIT Beer Game to assess their performance. The study found that while advanced reasoning models can outperform human teams and reduce costs significantly, they also introduce substantial reliability risks, termed "agent bullwhip." To mitigate these issues, the researchers propose a reinforcement learning post-training framework called Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to enhance the stability and reliability of these AI agents.
