OrchSLM: Probing the Dynamics of Small Language Model Orchestration

OrchSLM is a routing framework that unifies non‑interactive orchestration methods for small language models (SLMs). It allows heterogeneous SLMs to independently generate candidate solutions while a router manages their cached outputs without further model interaction. By systematically probing OrchSLM, the study shows how orchestration behavior depends on task structure, model‑pool composition, and multi‑agent consensus.

Conversational Orchestration for Organic 6G

arXiv:2608. 10714v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Organic 6G vision of a network of networks spanning an edge-cloud continuum complemented by non-terrestrial resources requires, to realize its promise, service provisioning that is simple to operate, scalable across independently administered domains, and agile under domain churn (i.

A Formal Hierarchical Architecture for Agentic Orchestration with Stack-Based Execution and Lazy Discovery

arXiv:2607. 11138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid expansion of capabilities in Large Language Model (LLM) agents has exposed a critical architectural bottleneck: when agents are given access to a flat, monolithic registry of tools, the model must evaluate hundreds or thousands of options simultaneously.

AgentOrch: How Close Can Global Orchestration Come to Step-by-Step Interaction?

AgentOrch is a benchmark that compares global orchestration—where a complete workflow is generated upfront—with step‑by‑step interaction on 650 enterprise standard operating procedures and 3,220 runtime variants. Across all evaluated models, step‑by‑step remains more accurate, but the performance gap has narrowed by about 79% from early to recent models. The study identifies three methods—incremental workflow construction, revising workflows with execution feedback, and targeted training on complete workflows—that can further close the gap, improving global orchestration accuracy by up to 12.18 percentage points.

OpenClaw and Ollama in Agentic AI: Toward Fully Autonomous and Scalable AI Agent Systems

arXiv:2607. 28629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid transition from reactive large language models (LLMs) to persistent, action-capable systems has exposed critical gaps in the architectural understanding of Agentic AI, particularly in separating inference, orchestration, and execution layers for autonomous AI agents.

SwarmBench: Can Large Language Models Act as Agent Swarm Orchestrators?

SwarmBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) as orchestrators of agent swarms, assessing accuracy, efficiency, cost, and process quality. The study finds significant variations in orchestration performance among current models, affecting not only final outcomes but also the quality of the orchestration process itself. To address these gaps, the authors introduce SwarmExp, a method that uses experience extraction and replay to consistently enhance LLM orchestration performance.

Architectural Design, Not Only Model Intelligence, Governs Multi-Agent LLM Performance

The paper argues that the architecture of multi‑agent large language model (LLM) frameworks, rather than just the intelligence of the underlying models, largely determines system performance. It introduces a taxonomy of architectural dimensions—such as orchestration, memory, planning interfaces, specialization, and communication topology—and presents MAFBench, a unified evaluation suite. An empirical study across nine frameworks, keeping the LLM constant, reveals six design principles and shows that choices like orchestration and communication topology can dramatically affect latency, accuracy, and coordination success.

Proactive Agentic Orchestration

The paper introduces POrchestra, a proactive agentic orchestration framework that lets sub‑agents request harness adjustments during execution, enhancing adaptability to dynamic environments. It also proposes On‑Policy Orchestration Distillation (OPOD), which uses hindsight feedback from sub‑agents’ requests to provide targeted improvement signals for training the orchestration policy. Experiments on three long‑horizon benchmarks show that POrchestra boosts task success by about 9.1% over the best baseline, and with OPOD the improvement rises to 10.0%, while also improving cost‑performance trade‑offs.

CoMIC: Collaborative Memory and Insights Circulation for Long-Horizon LLM Agents in Cloud-Edge Systems

arXiv:2606. 00756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying lightweight Large Language Model (LLM) agents on edge servers can reduce latency and move agentic services closer to users, but resource-constrained edge models often struggle with long-horizon tasks that require persistent memory, subgoal tracking, and reflection.

Towards an Agent Operating System - Lessons from Classical and Cloud OS

arXiv:2607. 25076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every major wave of platform software follows the same arc: an initial period of experimentation with competing frameworks and ad-hoc implementations, followed by the articulation of a small set of stable abstractions with well-defined semantics, and finally consolidation around those abstractions into a platform that applications can portably target.
