The paper introduces a meta-multi-agent reinforcement learning (meta‑MARL) framework that enables rapid adaptation of interactive policies in multi‑agent systems. By modeling multi‑agent reinforcement learning problems as Markov games and defining a new concept called meta‑NE, the authors establish conditions linking meta‑NE to stationary points of a gradient‑play meta‑MARL algorithm. Experiments on autonomous‑driving tasks show that this approach adapts faster than pretrained MARL baselines, demonstrating its effectiveness.

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.

Agentic ESOpt proposes using evolution strategies (ES) instead of reinforcement learning to fine‑tune large language‑model agents for long‑horizon tasks. ES offers model scalability, flexibility, and better long‑horizon credit assignment, enabling full‑parameter optimization with minimal GPU memory. The framework samples parameter perturbations, evaluates agents with rewards, and updates online, achieving notable performance gains on WebArena‑Lite and in test‑time prompt‑parameter co‑evolution.
