JD Oxygen AI Item Center (Oxygen AIIC) V1: An Industrial-Scale LLM/VLM-Centric Solution for Item Understanding, Management, and Applications

The wave of AI-native applications is moving shopping beyond page- and feed-based browsing toward intent-driven experiences orchestrated by LLM agents. A common design wraps an LLM around existing search and recommendation pipelines, forcing complex intents through low-bandwidth retrieval or ranking interfaces and leaving a gap between language understanding and item-space fulfillment. Generative recommendation gives LLMs a direct item-space interface through semantic IDs (SIDs), but existing models mainly generate candidates for retrieval rather than translate flexible intents into item-space outcomes. We propose ShopX to address this bottleneck by unifying intent understanding, execution planning, and flexible SID-native item-space operations into a single foundation model. We deploy ShopX in agentic shopping workflows through a model-native item-fulfillment framework with a serving harness that defines a model-facing action protocol and exposes support surfaces for context access, catalog grounding, and state management. Within this framework, ShopX plans and composes SID-based item-space operations such as SID beam-search retrieval, listwise ranking, or product bundling. This model-centric design reduces lossy hand-offs between agent orchestration and item-space execution. To build ShopX, we design semantically recoverable, LLM-operable SIDs and a training recipe that equips a general LLM for flexible multi-turn item-space fulfillment while retaining the knowledge and instruction-following abilities needed by a shopping agent. We evaluate the ShopX framework against tool-mediated agentic systems on single- and multi-turn fulfillment tasks derived from anonymized Taobao production logs, showing that model-native fulfillment improves overall framework behavior, especially on complex or ambiguous requests.

We introduce KadiAssistant, a privacy-by-design AI assistant integrated into the Kadi research data ecosystem, enabling researchers to efficiently access, aggregate, and synthesize information from heterogeneous, privacy-sensitive research data. Interdisciplinary fields such as materials science bring together disciplines with their own terminology and standards. While this convergence fuels innovation, it also makes it increasingly difficult to connect and access knowledge, as data are distributed across disciplines, organizations, and individuals. For example, battery research combines electrochemical measurements, materials characterization data, physics-based simulations, and manufacturing parameters, each using different formats, vocabularies, and standards. Efficiently storing and sharing such heterogeneous data via research data platforms, such as Kadi4Mat, demands domain knowledge, technical expertise, and familiarity with metadata schemas and interfaces. Research data also vary in sensitivity: newly generated 'warm' data are often private, whereas published 'cold' data are usually openly accessible. The Kadi ecosystem offers fine-grained access control needed for sensitive data. A solution for efficient information retrieval in Kadi must therefore respect the fine-grained access permissions. To address these intertwined challenges of information retrieval, strong data privacy, and complex access control, KadiAssistant combines a self-hosted large language model (LLM) with a privacy-preserving semantic search, inspired by retrieval-augmented generation, that can access files and record metadata on Kadi. This allows the assistant to screen, aggregate, and structure information into a highly informative answer. KadiAssistant therefore bridges terminology and standards, lowers access barriers for researchers, and strengthens the Findable pillar of FAIR data principles.

Two-sided service marketplaces are moving from deterministic request-form intake to AI-native probabilistic matching, enabled by large language models (LLMs) that infer intent, preferences, and latent constraints from natural language. Relying on inferred intent rather than fixed-form fields forces these platforms to regenerate the provider-side preference taxonomy underwriting matching, search, and pricing: attributes interpretable to service providers while remaining a useful signal for marketplace decisions. We present an autoresearch loop that generates this taxonomy, one occupation at a time, and has been deployed in production at a major U.S. consumer services marketplace since April 2026, spanning 132 occupations. Instead of one global hierarchy, the loop treats each occupation as an independent generation problem and runs iterative propose-evaluate-keep refinement cycles. Each candidate tag set is scored by a recalibrated six-rubric LLM-as-judge framework, and a 7-critic panel of distinct personas contributes weighted penalties to an adjusted score, with no hard vetoes. A separate parity-mapping stage maps legacy request-form Q&A pairs back to the generated taxonomy, yielding both a coverage signal and an interface for human quality assurance; it does so by first inferring the provider attribute each legacy question was meant to measure, rather than translating questions to tags literally.
