Epistemic-Probabilistic Model for Guarded Multi-Agent LLM Coordination

The paper introduces Epistemic Probabilistic Language Agents (EPLA), a neuro‑symbolic architecture designed to enable coordination among multi‑agent large language models (LLMs) under uncertainty. EPLA employs a Symbolic Guard that provides structured diagnostic feedback, allowing the LLM to generate typed actions while the Guard controls their execution against an authoritative symbolic state. The authors formalize an epistemic layer using gossip testbeds and epistemic lottery gossip models, combining view‑based call histories with agent‑indexed probability weights to address gaps in social behavior and coordination mechanisms for agentic LLMs.

Seven Security Challenges That Must be Solved in Cross-domain Multi-agent LLM Systems

arXiv:2505. 23847v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving into autonomous agents that cooperate across organizational boundaries, enabling joint disaster response, supply-chain optimization, and other tasks that demand decentralized expertise without surrendering data ownership.

Reinforcement Learning of Communication in a Mesh of Small Language Models

The paper introduces TalkMesh, a decentralized network of small language model agents that learn to communicate effectively during inference. Each agent proposes an answer, scores it with a confidence head, and the most confident agent broadcasts a hint; lower‑confidence agents revise their proposals if a new suggestion scores higher. This gossip‑based consensus, trained via group relative policy optimization, enables a mesh of three agents to match the accuracy of majority voting over 32 samples, and scales to larger meshes to significantly boost performance on benchmarks like GSM8K and MATH-500.
