Dynamic Expert Pruning for Multi-Agent Systems introduces DEP, a method that generates a per-request mask of experts based on an agent’s system and task prompts. Unlike static pruning, DEP uses a lightweight predictor trained on workflow transcripts to activate only the experts needed for each specific request, requiring no per-configuration calibration. Experiments across various tasks, models, and MoE architectures show DEP outperforms static pruning and merging baselines, especially when few experts are retained, and it generalizes to unseen workflows.

arXiv:2603. 18492v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models increase parameter capacity without proportional per-token computation, yet deployment still requires storing the full expert pool, making expert pruning important for reducing memory and serving overhead.
The paper introduces HOPE, a second‑order pruning method for Mixture‑of‑Experts language models that accounts for cooperative interactions between experts. Unlike first‑order methods such as REAP, HOPE derives an objective that provably bounds pruning error and is shown to outperform baselines across three large MoE models, multiple calibration sets, and diverse benchmarks, especially at high pruning rates and on agentic tasks. The results demonstrate that preserving expert interactions allows aggressive compression with minimal performance loss on complex workloads.
arXiv:2606. 27866v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models scale model ability with sparsely activated experts, making this architecture a standard recipe for modern large models.
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models suffer from large parameter counts, which create a significant memory bottleneck. Expert pruning is the most direct approach for reducing this parameter count,...
The paper introduces InFlowOp, a label‑free optimization framework that assigns costs to each decision in a multi‑agent workflow, balancing agent competence against execution time. It determines task granularity and agent assignment before execution and corrects faults during execution using the same cost metric. The authors also present Braid, a benchmark for multi‑agent coordination, and show that InFlowOp outperforms single‑agent baselines by up to 11.97% across various domains.

The paper "It Takes Workflows to Evolve Better Workflows" introduces FloWright, a method that uses a hierarchical, structure‑aware reward system to allow one or more roles in a multi‑agent workflow to self‑evolve without extra models or data. It also proposes DataWright, an adaptive data hardening technique that transforms existing datasets into more challenging workflow‑level tasks. Experiments on document, slide, chart, code, math, and finance tasks show that small open models trained with FloWright can improve performance by up to +7.41%, with co‑evolving multiple roles yielding the largest gains. "whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates that optimizing beyond the workflow generator—by enabling multiple agents to co‑evolve—can substantially enhance the effectiveness of multi‑agent workflows for complex real‑world tasks."
