The proliferation of Large Language Models has catalyzed powerful application development platforms like Dify, which enable users to build sophisticated LLM-powered workflows through modular node orchestration. However, manually configuring these workflows requires deep platform expertise and remains time-consuming and error-prone, creating a significant barrier for non-expert users. To address this challenge, we propose \textsc{ChatDify}, a novel multi-agent framework that automates end-to-end Dify workflow synthesis from natural language descriptions. \textsc{ChatDify} employs an Actor-Critic architecture comprising three specialized agents: the \textit{Planner Agent} that decomposes user requests into structured execution plans, the \textit{Executor Agent} that performs context-aware parameter synthesis and schema-augmented DSL compilation, and the \textit{Reviewer Agent} that ensures reliability through hybrid verification with closed-loop refinement. We evaluate \textsc{ChatDify} on a curated benchmark of 100 production-inspired tasks across three state-of-the-art LLM backends, achieving 0.96, 0.91, and 0.75 success rates with Qwen-3.7, GLM-5.1, and DeepSeek-v4, respectively. These results demonstrate its robustness and practical applicability for lowering the technical barrier to creating sophisticated LLM applications.

Federated fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) is obstructed by a trilemma of challenges: protecting LLMs intellectual property (IP), ensuring client privacy, and mitigating performance loss on heterogeneous data. Existing methods like Offsite-Tuning (OT) secure the LLMs IP by having clients train only lightweight adapters, yet our analysis reveals they suffer from a fundamental performance bottleneck, leaving a significant gap compared to centralized training. To bridge this gap, we introduce FedProxy, a new federated adaptation framework. FedProxy replaces weak adapters with a unified, powerful Proxy Small Language Model (SLM), compressed from the proprietary LLM, to serve as a high-fidelity surrogate for collaborative fine-tuning. Our framework systematically resolves the trilemma through a three-stage architecture: (i) Efficient Representation via server-guided compression to create a resource-friendly proxy; (ii) Robust Optimization through an interference-mitigating aggregation strategy to handle data heterogeneity; and (iii) Effortless Fusion via a training-free “plug-in” mechanism to integrate learned knowledge back into the LLM. Experiments show FedProxy significantly outperforms OT methods and approaches centralized performance, establishing a new benchmark for secure and high-performance federated LLM adaptation.
